Out in the night A wolf howls. Dogs bark and coyotes chatter. The birds are still; Silence is their shroud. Stars twinkle overhead. Saturn turns and spins like a top. Nothing is lost in that vast night While owls hunt, And bats dart like crooked bullets. It is a portrait of calm Predators of the night stalk for meat. Ears and eyes for the night Are on full alert. Death awaits, giving life. Earth's sustenance is full; There is enough. Nothing is wasted in this plan Of grand nature's design. Pain is for a moment, Then life goes on. The hunter and the hunted Never sleep, They only doze in fits and starts. Soon a killer will be full. Soon the nightly prey Will be silent and torn.
