Russell Sivey Poet Free verse

Nighttime Serenity

A train
A whistle
A full moon
Feelings amassed
In proportions
Awesome and tranquil
Nighttime emotion
Become so serene
Just like those lamplights
And bedtime fans
Twirling in twilight
Adjusting to the night
Eyes see little
But the leftover reds
From the light
As night commences
In full accord
Only the sound of the train
Clanking down the tracks
And the distant whistle
Remain 
And the sound 
Of the fan
Whirl-winding around
In complete rhythm
To the train
And the moons escape
Towards infinity
As night moves along
And I drift off to sleep…

Russell Sivey

Andrea Dietrich October 8, 2017 at 9:02 PM This is really nice, Russell. It's got lots of soothing images (except for the clanking train!!) but really puts you in the mind of someone trying to sleep. Love it.
