Night Sounds

While gazing at wonders of star gleams,
listened to wild quail as they cooed dreams.
Up and down dry riverbed came cries
of night birds exploring darkened skies.
Warm-blanket sounds to erase day's rush
Slowly sounds fade, night deepens to hush.

So evocative, I really like 'night birds exploring darkened skies' and 'night deepens to hush' - I agree, it is the perfect closing line~
