Night Time Thoughts

Darkness fallen, the sky shines,
Stars twinkle and dance
Floating silently along the milky way in twisty lines
Scattered around, millions to see
Stardust tossed on a black canvas
Painted, a beautiful breathtaking picture
A soft, calming power it holds
Losing every worry among diamonds
Getting lost in the sea, swimming in a daze
The world is quiet, peaceful at this time
No noise or fighting, just soft breathing of innocents.
But all too soon it starts to leave
The sky begins to light; the break of dawn kills all beauty
Dead of night is drifting away
Pain fills the world once again
The fighting begins once more
It’s just a circle, constantly moving.
Day and night in a constant battle
Light; constant, never enough
Dark; slow, peaceful and safe
La nuit prend lentement le monde…

The night slowly takes the world. La nuit prend lentement le monde.Pain fills the world once again. Douleur remplit une fois de plus le monde . Do not worry, there is always tomorrow.

This is a splendid first impression of such talent. I am impressed with the use superbly vivid imagery, with how soothing the beauty of the night, darkness and light are, and many other things. Welcome to Poetry Soup.
