In The Still of The Night
September 3, 2026
By Rose Marie Rideout 

The air is clear, as I breathe it in,
The night is calm, only silence I hear.
The moon shines bright, yet far away,
Like a close friend, who really cares.
With each step, you feel a crisp sound,
The grass is beginning to harden,
As we take a quiet walk around.
In the still of the night, 
There's a peaceful, easy feeling,
Only the beauty in all to be seen.
Longing for more evenings like this,
Feelings of a soft gentle, caring kiss.
Imagination running through your mind,
The thoughts of memories long gone,
Precious evenings, of yet another time.
In the still of the night,
When everything seems just right,
Your full life, your every breath,
Holding this attractive evening forever,
A special feeling within your chest.
Watching as the stars glitter high above,
Remembering the innocence of true love,
Everything feeling just right.
In the still of the night.
