A Night Sky... Poem by David N. Degnan

A Night Sky...

Rating: 4.9


As night comes to pass
over my home, my land,
I find myself here,
Alone I stand.
The moonlit earth
Surrounds, engulfs me.
I find in no place other
I'd rather be.
The moon to me,
Fells so empowering.
It's mysterious light
Now showering
Upon me.
I see
Peace of mind.
A place where free, I ride.
I long to fly
In a night sky.

Stars gleam,
So far away...
Only to vanish
With each new day.
Though they return
always as night falls,
Giants so large, in the sky
Seem so very small.
Make the map, in the sky.
For nightly travelers wand’ring
And give life to
Night creatures that sing.

In Nature so kind,
I always find
My peace of mind.
Free I ride,
Alone I fly,
In the night sky…

Beautiful write, son... interesting, I found that while reading this, it gave a very satisfying, kind of primal feel to it, and was not sure if the narrator was human or animal... the genius is, is that the poem can be taken either way! I enjoy the fact that you revel in nature's beauty and incorporated your senses of sound and sight to heighten that...10 plus to my fav poet! MA.

I agree with Victoria, that this is a wonderful piece of poetry. The use of language here is particularly good. The rhyme is good too. This was fine to read and worthy of being recommended to others. GW62

Keep up the awesome work hun... cause we need all the beauty in this world we can get. Love ya!
