nocturne
when
the night sky grows
dark
the earth comes to life
the constellation of stars above and flitting fireflies below
twinkle bright
peepers peep and screech owls shriek
the rain-swelled creek percolates
who can sleep?
I spend hours wide awake
~kat
peace, love, and night glimmers to you.

It’s good to have such company when lying awake!

Much better than traffic sounds, sirens, loud parties, trains clanging in the rail yard, and machinery growling…a typical night when we lived in the city.😳

What a fabulous picture Kat. Love your poem too. We loved it on the boat as we were part of nature.
