SILENT BEAUTY.

Author: niah9

Special time, when sun must fade
Praise to nature, night beauty made
Light dims, sun loses strength-heat
Dreams are waiting, earth must sleep

Peace overcomes, buzz was the day
Muted colours now, subdued not gay
Sky darkens, soon broken by stars
Moon becomes lantern, to guide far

Across land, mountains and to sea
Lapping waves, on shoreline so free
Breeze stirs wind, to chase clouds
Silent beauty understated, never loud.....

So envious Kathy - enjoy your beautiful summer sunset and twilight. Oh to hear the crickets and night bugs singing me to sleep. Sitting here with cold fingers and cold winter days. But it is only fair - you had your winter and now summer. However, I cannot imagine celebrating Christmas in the middle of summer! Take care and stay safe my friend!

"Silent beauty understated"
If only the flowers of CS would reveal
their beauty beyond their selective attention to the few. a gardener could walk by to hear and understand that beauty
Of course if the gardeners would only listen that would help as well.
Nevertheless a good poem indeed.
