Heidi Sands Poet Rhyme

Nightfall Arrives

The blanket of darkness lays across the hills
As night settles in and wind stops, it stills
Not a tree moves, as silence consumes
Seeping through walls, into empty rooms
Worn thoughts are left at the end of the day
From taking many turns along the way
Just trying to get things done, to survive
Now it’s time to rest, watch nightfall arrive

Gershon Wolf April 14, 2019 at 12:45 PM I want to echo Sunlite's comment below, and add this: I really like how you utilized "stills" as a verb in the second line. So creative... And finally, I'm with you: When night falls, it's time to rest. Blessings, Gershon Heidi Sands April 14, 2019 at 1:01 PM Thank you. It is nice to read your feedback. Bless you :)
