Notes About The Poem

Nocturnal Wandering

When gloaming twilight becomes night darkness
    I begin my nocturnal nightly wandering
            and gazing
at the unfathomable night sky-
             it is ever changing and mysterious
     puzzling, peculiar and perplexing
                 beyond obscure stars and the moon
is a unknown and inexplicable realm
                                  odd, secret and strange
and perhaps a bizarre place-
        night after night from eventide
till sunrise
         I dwell in the mystic sky floating
                                               in dreams . . .

your imagery is so gorgeous Constance my hubby and I often go out for midnight walks at the moment the night sky is so so clear here on our little Island which is a stargazing center as there is little light pollution:-) hugs jan xx
