Thoughts At Night

The sun travels down and disappears for the night...
                                           The moon spreads it's wings with a
                                                       cascading height...
                                   Into the darkness my thoughts find their way...
                                       I can then scribble endlessly like letters
                                                           in a parade...
                                   I struggle to finish before the sun finds my sky...
                               And as the light pours down, my thoughts can't hide...

This is a truly beautiful, simply beautiful write! I just love the flow of your poem, so smooth! I think your, "Into the darkness my thoughts find their way..." is a great line, stating so much, especially pertaining to the title "Thoughts at Night"! I really enjoyed your poem this fine evening Michael! I love your write! Great Work!
