Nights are still for a reason in the wilderness...shhhhh
~~~~Listen!~~~~
Rhythm of the Night
Whispering Live Oaks, a breeze through her moss
Cricket's legs speaking ...bug eyed and lost
Lightning bug flashing with all of her might
Listen , its calling...this rhythm of the night
Stars are exploding with brightness around
Moonbeams shooting ... rays that rebound
Silently Nighthawks brush by their prey
As evening lowers her midnight-blue shades
Its orchestrated...elated ...darkened...and faded
Its lights out...earthly shouts ...bright greens now jaded
Its stardust surrounding the comet's gold swing
Through cosmic light forces and a full moon's bright beam
Its silent love songs from clicking Raccoons
The swoosh of a Barn Owl ...the call of the Loon
Its darkened and singing with twists and a shout
All music at night time... that's what it's about
It's smothering bouquets of aromatic nectar
The splash of a shrimp in the channel...projected
It's magic you know ...illusion ...insight
Mystery rebounding, it's the rhythm of the night.
delightful rhyme and meter delightfully written especially the latter stages.

For some crazy reason all that I could read, and it was sticking in my head was,"Crickets legs spreading" instead of speaking, Tells you where my head is at.
