Sonnet 60: The Night Poem by David Wood
Sonnet 60: The Night
Gently the night descends all around us
The day now run its course about to close
The dusk of evening swirls without much fuss
And stars twinkling in the night do pose.
Starlings in the night time sky overhead
Circle in the sky like a flowing stream
They begin to settle down in their bed
As nights cape descending closing its seam.
The still of the night allows all to rest
To rejuvenate and make bodies new
That allows people to be at their best
In whatever labour they choose to do.
The darkness of the night allows for sleep
To dream soft dreams until the dawn does creep.
Night's sleep rejuvenates the body preparing for the day. Beautiful sonnet. Thank you.
Usually it is taken as the bewithching time of night, always in the negative connotations of darkness, fear, evils, theft, losing the way to destination and spirits....but this is a new orientation of the night time, positively presented in a slowly moving cadence that shows softly descending night! ! !
A soothing poem describing the descension of the night in wonderful rhyming lines! How the night allows all to rest to rejuvenate us is presented well, David! I request you to go over my poem Soothing Night ' if you find time!
A wonderful descripition of the slow descend of night! This is the time for sleep and rest! In this connection I invite you to read my poem- A Silent night, A Holy Night!

There's nothing better than falling off to sleep hearing nature all around you as you drift off. A great poem.
