shadow of a nightingale

Who hears the sweetest sound,
a secret tune when no ones around.
The crickets chirping lullaby,
or the wind through the
willows and it's comforting sigh.
The deep blue shades bring the melodies of night,
that dance in the dusk, and shy from the light.
A whisper from the night birds wings,
the rivers laughter, that the stones tickle brings.
The hush as a leaf slides down a moonbeam so pale.
The keeper of these silent songs is the
Shadow of a nightingale.
