Nightlife
The darkness blankets time and space.
The shadows dance across the pane,
as moonlit droplets drape like lace
and play the music of the rain.
The damp chill of the dead of night
seeps in my bones to settle there.
I hug my flannel robe wrapped tight
And burrow deep into my chair.
My hands are warmed by steaming brew;
The kitten snuggles close to me;
My heart is warmed by life and you.
The world seems balanced perfectly.
A movie flickers black and white,
The dog is whining for her food.
The noisy silence of the night
feels soft and comfortably subdued.
Yet slowly dawn intrudes upon
the shadows of my quiet time.
The sights and sounds of night are gone
The company has been sublime!
