Silent Night.

Silence reigns upon the earth as Sunset bids farewell to the day. Daily chores completed , tired feet upon footstools lay Little ones tucked into beds after a day of play. Silence reigns upon the earth where noise before was heard a gentle breeze soothe troubled minds with whispers soft and sweet, heard only by those at the point where two worlds meet. Silence reigns upon the earth except for nocturnal sounds of cricket cries amid the dance of candle flies that illuminate the night. Dogs howl, no longer bark, as moonlight spreads her light sending trees into shadowy flight. Silence reigns upon the earth as man settles down to sleep to dream ,and whistle through drooping lips as deeper into slumber he slips.
