Night's Embrace: Whispers of the Universe

 


The night descends, a sigh of gray, 

A silver moon, it holds its sway. A frosted disc, a watchful eye,

As wispy clouds in silence fly.


They drift across the velvet black, 

Like brushstrokes white, upon a track 

Of endless dark, a starry sea, A canvas vast, for all to see.


The air is crisp, a breath of pine, 

A symphony of scents entwined 

With dampened earth, a gentle breeze, 

Rustling leaves through ancient trees.


The world shrinks down, beneath the dome, 

Of endless space, my worries numb. 

A quiet peace, a gentle hush, 

As moonlit shadows softly brush.


A connection felt, to something grand, 

A universe, held in my hand. The stars whisper secrets, old and new, 

In this moment, bathed in moonlit dew.


I breathe it in, the silent night, 

A simple beauty, pure and bright.

 A sense of wonder fills my soul, 

As stars and moon their stories roll.
