To You From Nighttime Skies

To You from Nighttime Skies  


Soft and slow the evening breeze
Does filter out the day
Silently it sways the trees
In perfect night display

A clouded veil does wrap the sky
In grayish darkened hues
This curtain’s dreary night disguise
Does not disturb the views

As raindrops ride the atmosphere
To wet the ground below
Shadows form and disappear
Retreating as they go

Overcast a watchmen sent
His eyes to guard this eve
Still the dream shall come to pass
If only you believe

Dark of night and storms that brew
Will not deny this place
The grandness of its endless charm
Shall find your loving face  

For in this vast expanse does grow
An everlasting love
To shower down on those who know
So softly from above

For if you look your eyes may meet
A joyful sweet surprise
You’ll see it is my love I send 
To you from nighttime skies


Good Night Soupers

Chris, steady, drum-beating rhythm and interesting stanzaic theme changes. Sweet! (Yeah, made sure that "stanzaic" was a word.)
