Magic Of The Night Poem by Frederick Nellist

Trees and flowers the sun has kissed
Nightly embraced, shrouded in mist
Darkness presides the day is done
Inviting moon beams to have their fun.

A purple darkness invades the terrain
A million bright eyes the skies contain
The scene is set night turns the page
The forest creatures will take the stage.

Shadows dance in the pale moon light
Nocturnal whispers are flying by night
Insects harmonize a haunting refrain
When darkness dies they will abstain.

The soft velvet beauty a daunting sight
Softly mellowed by the fast fading light
This is the wildlife's dwelling place
Each contemplating their own merry chase.

It's always darkest before dawns early kiss
Temporary moments that bring welcome bliss
The instant that day break is unfurled
It will reveal the madness of the world.
