As night descends,
The heavens celebrate,
The birth of stars.
Through the tossing trees,
They send down their toothless smiles
The Moon too smiles with glee,
Like a pleased mother.
The Earth in darkness,
Looking at the illumined sky,
Follows suit and lights up
Street lamps open their eyes,
Flooding the cobalt streets.
Neon bulbs blink,
From hidden homes.
Car lights dazzle,
Like lightning.
Glow worms, like night sentries,
Parade round with mini torches
The roads ring with the sound
Of returning feet
Night prowlers come out,
To prey upon innocents.
Fairies roam round,
For their nightly gambols.
Day labourers
Coil lazily to rest,
Letting their barbed distractions,
Melt slowly away.
And the dead in their sepulchers
Sleep dreamless!
Among the muted murmurs,
The cicadas’ sounds alone swell.
This is the time for
Life and strife
To lay their heads pillowed
For restful silence
And serene sleep
Under the blanket
Of a dim lit night!
A beautifully described welcoming poem to a pleasant night for rest.
I adore the night time. Your poem is so vivid and evocative. Thank you for sharing Ma'am. Peace
Beautiful description of nature at night time. As the Night Descends, it's a time for deep serene sleep. Beautiful presentation. Cool and calm to read. Loved reading it.
Your description of the modern day night with its different facets is very captivating. The only complain about the modern day night is that the stars appear duller.
