Alive At Night by Steve Robertson Saturday, January 31, 2004 Share Print Save Become a Fan I have always loved natural settings and have sought them out my whole life. I live in Florida and the beauty of the woods, lakes, rivers and shores is staggering. It's funny how many people live here and have never enjoyed any of that.

ALIVE AT NIGHT A horse screams in the night perhaps a mile or two away An we can see the stars blinking light Made so by branches as they sway And if we are quiet, we can hear The crickets start to sing. We can see lightning bugs as they appear Like tiny lanterns on silent wing The night birds call in their flight Across the fluorescence of the sky And our faces glow from moonlight As clouds go drifting by We see each other as we really are With love of life and giving And the horse calling from afar Reminds us of freedom in living

Oh, this makes me want to be there! Fantastic imagery - I can hear the crickets singing... what a shame for those who don't recognize the beauty of it all. Excellent, excellent artwork, Steve.
