Notes About The Poem

I was inspired to write 'Nightfall' on an evening that the full moon was extraordinarily brilliant.  It had a scholarly gaze looking down from a vast sky accompanied by stars, I imagined what the moon witnessed, as it traveled throughout the night.

Nightfall

Nightfall
                                        The Moon rises
                                    Juxtaposed in the sky
                                 Calmly pausing to oversee
                        Lights of urban cities, that never sleep
                          Arousing meadow, wood and stream
                                      A heavenly body
                                     Clustered in stars
                                           Nightfall
