Night Song
Everything is dark,
the black moon provides no light.
It seems there
is nothing outside,
all is asleep.
But listen!
Listen
to the wise hoot of the owl,
and the rhythmic tapping of
invisible rain on the window.
Listen
to the sweet violins of crickets,
and the gentle
whisper of the trees.
Listen
to the opera of wolves
howling in praise
of Mother Earth,
and listen
to the comforting
silence of the stars.
Light only distracts us
from the beautiful song of nature
only darkness can bring forth;
her most beautiful symphony,
the sweet song that is the night.
