When Day and Night Greet Each Other

Remnants owlish wisdom wafts through nighttime’s purple sky. Fox settles down with her kits, against a nurturing oak stump. Meadow and forest perform their nightly slumbering rituals. Vigilant deer mama is resting in a bed of fescue next to her fawn. Fireflies blink sheer happiness, laughing in Morse code. Owl’s successive tri hoots are followed by coyote’s excited yips. Forest and meadow slowly close their eyes, under the bright stars. The day relinquishes her responsibilities to night, gladly. It is a magical time when day and night greet each other, happily.

A "Fav"; I love this: "Fireflies blink sheer happiness, laughing in Morse code."

You know this is exactly how I see it, right? I am probably one of only a handful who can read it.
