I walk out my back door
To stretch and view
The loveliness
of a clear night
To inhale the cleanse country air
Of the evening
A glow I sense
Illuminating the night.
Emitting from over head
To my amazement
I am graced with a vision
Of awe
As The full moon
Is totally in full bloom
She is the centered hazy image
Of a glorious cross.
The heavens are dark
Stars twinkle bright
Within the blue velvet silence
Of a glorious sky
I stare at the reflections
Of street lamps
In the almost
Invisible shimmering Pond.
I hear the gentle sounds
Of the sprinkler
Irrigating my parched lawn
Making it greener
Hoping...
It won't take too long.
At a distance I can hear the fading sounds
Of the night critters
And screeching of a hunting fowl.
Within the swamp,
Far away and out of sight
I heard a muffled sound
Of a wounded beast
Beast! I narrate within my thoughts
For it's eerieness
Send chills through my spine
Deep to my bones.
Yet the evening was comfortably warm
The thoughts of it's horror
Drove me back indoors
Turning off, the outdoor's light
Securely locking the entrance
To my dwelling, for the night.
There I silently recited a prayer
Hoping to wake
To another sunrise
As tomorrow is arriving.
I walk through my front door
And switched on the light
And in a panicked way
Fireflies and mayflies buzz around
Like they do around a light by night
I look deep into the night
Beyond the light it is very dark
Pitch black
I can hear hundreds of crickets and cicadas
Rubbing their wings unseen
Producing a clamorous chorus
I smile…knowing they are at ease
There is nothing out there to hurt them
I am just staring out
At a absolute black sky
I pull my coat closer to my body
And embrace myself
Trying to make me feel warmer
I listen to the crickets screeching
And I think about my disturbed life
Within the walls behind me
And I can't help it
The tears crowd the crickets
And in darkness...
Silent tears runs freely
