Night Mystery

NIGHT MYSTERY

 

The glowing orange jewel of an evening sun,

Embedded into the throat of a clear blue horizon;

Fiery rays of yellow spotlighting blackening clumps of trees,

As they sway in timeto a whistling breeze;

The soaring shadows of hunting evening fowl,

Each echoing into the falling night, its shreiking call;

Cool damp dewy blades of glistening grasses,

While into the sky, a pure white moon rises,

Clearly shining, as a massive sapphire over the earth

And smiling at us with heavenly mirth;

Occasionally, the chilling splash of a blurt of wind

Or the gummy threads of a web just spinned

Make the world such a mysterious place,

Like closing the eyes on a sunny face.

This poem reminds me of the time I spend in the deep Northwoods of Wisconsin. I can imagine laying in a hammock in the evening, watching the sun go down on the far side of a clear blue lake while in the foreground of my vision is a spider's web, wet with evening due.

Thanks for evoking the memory for me.

Very nice.
