Nightly Whisper/ Nächtliches Geflüster/ Susurro De Noche

Trough nightly whisper
A pale moon hides behind clouds
With dancing shadows

A far murmur from the woods
Soothing gurgle from the creek
-----------------------------------------
Nächtliches Flüstern
Ein fahler Mond hinter Wolken
Mit tanzenden Schatten

Ein fernes  Murmeln vom Wald
Ein sanftes Gluckern vom Bach
-----------------------------------------
Susurro Nocturno
Pálida luna detrás nubes 
Sombras bailando 

Murmullo lejano del bosque 
Suave borboteo de ribera

It always seems eerie when the moon is hiding behind clouds. You could have written this about Halloween -- it has a somewhat spooky quality to it, Gert. Love, Carolyn

Gert, this poem is really moving, touches the reality image of the skies at night. ANd all the little things you can hear at night. ,, I wonder now if clouds make a sound when they are hiding the moon. Enjoyed your poem,..p.d.
