Moonlight falls over
the mountains
Coolness spreads
throughout the air
Silky clouds sail
gently across the sky
Moon River flows
into the dark night
Houses and streets
Gardens and fields
Mountains and lakes
Bathe in Moon water
Droplets of dew
drizzle from the sky
Like tiny crystals
sprinkle from above
A touch of freshness
embraces the world
Miracally enlivening
mudane lives on earth
Stars brightly twinkle
all over the sky
Like hundreds of flowers
blooming to spy
Continuously twinkle
throughout the night
Beautifully illuminating
the midnight sky
Streets stand empty
from dusk till dawn
Lamp posts glow
all night long
House lights gleam
scattered dim flickers
Spreading a kind of hush
in the still of the night...

you have created very vivid picture of the silence of the night.please read my poems on similar lines-before the day breaks and and after the sunset.
Hemakumar - You must be a peace with the world to see such beauty. Let this vision of this transformation of darkness go from your lips to God's ear, then to men's hearts. Blessings - Cheryl
