Melissa Enslin Poet I do not know?

Silent Night

AS I LAY IN THE MIDDLE
OF THE GOLDEN 
GRASSFIELDS OF 
MOTHER NATURE
I ADMIRE THE CALMNESS
WITHIN MY SOUL

THE STIL, BUT
SOOTHING, WIND BLOWING 
THROUGH THE TREES
KINDLY GREET THE
EMERALD GREEN LEAVES
THAT SEEM TO EMBRACE 
THE WINDS ATMOSPHERE

THE BOASTFUL FLOWERS FLAUNT
THEIR MULTICOLORED PETALS 
FOR ALL THOSE TO IDOLISE THEM

THE DISTANT MOUNTIAN TOPS
ARE COVERED IN PURE
WHITE SNOW – NOT EVEN
THE SUN DARES TO MELT ITS
FROZEN AND THICK INNOCENCE 

THE SMALL TREE CRITTEERS
SCURRY AROUND TO AVOID
THE LETHAL TALON OF THE
BOLD EAGLE THAT SOARS 
UBOVE THE SAPPHIRE SKY

BUT ONCE THE SUNSET
ARRIVES…
ALL THOSE WHO WERE
BOASTFUL, INNOCNET 
AND BOLD...
SURRENDER THEIR
UNIQUE ABILITIES
TO SETTLE DOWN - AWATING
FOR THE PEACEFUL 
NIGHT TO ARRIVE

MELISSA VERWEY (21)
