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.
