Creative Nights

The sun’s descent slowly approaches
Yellow fades into crimson delight
Before hues of violet paint the sky
As indigo quietly takes its place
Until only onyx can be seen

The sun has departed for the day
As stars twinkle in a grand gesture
They release the chaotic day’s movement
It’s silently tucked away in clouds
Held there in pockets of time passed

The satin sky whispers calm of peace
As the mind releases its anxiety
Time for creativity to drift and flow
Gather its images of passion’s paint
And swim in a sea of shimmering words

The moon illuminates the darkness
As it lights a pathway to wonder
A brilliant glow is cast down below
As cosmic forces sway so gently
That their presence is barely felt

As solace begins to fill the brain
Magic words float with poetic sounds
Inked on pages as the world slows
Their curves dance across plain blue lines
As they add interest to stark white pages

Creativity and inspiration float gently on your words to settle in my mind. Your words bring such peace and light with them. The night seems to glow in the poet's mind, as the cosmic forces come to play, making the world of words come alive on the page. Superb imagery, dear Poetic Beauty. The mind revels in the beauty of those midnight moments. You make one feel the limitlessness of inspiration. Loved it.

I’m glad you enjoyed this poem. Night time does seem to bring out the creativeness within my mind. I tend to write at night

I love the colors, but especially the contrast between black and white the way of your words; as a painter I can picture this scene on a canvas....with an onyx sky..and the moon illuminating the earth below....black ink on white pages... lighted by the moon...poetic phrases of the way of the cosmos....as dawn breaks the chaos increases ;the sleepy sun awakens to light up the earth...swirling with movement of humans and nature.... love this piece...
Warmly, B

I am so glad you were able to see this scene like a painting on canvas. I try to allow the reader to visualize the words and scene I’m describing and you clearly pick up on the emotion as well. Thank you for reading!!

i like how you transition from beautiful dusk to peaceful night and how that sets the stage for you to write creatively. you are a deep, caring person who is deeply in touch with her inner self and enjoys expressing those feelings. you have a way with words. much enjoyed read.

[Poetic Beauty]

Thank you. I do write sometimes during the day and the daytime writing has a different feel to it. It’s more alive and energetic but my night time writing allows my mind to softly drift in whatever direction it decides to go

[Chris Shaw]

A positively calming piece of writing through the eyes of an artist. A canvas formed before my eyes with wonderful images and the most beautiful hues. I felt the world slowing down. Magical.

It is odd but I have felt it for years. When the day begins to fade I can feel the shift of the world slowing down. It’s not so loud and busy.

"It’s silently tucked away in clouds

I loved this metaphor and image. I have always loved the sunset and nature and you paint a vivid image here with a most beautiful poem.

[Poetic Beauty]

I’m glad you enjoyed the imagery in this poem. Nature is beautiful and many time captures my thoughts and imagination. When the sunsets it is held in pockets of time passed when night creeps in.

Dear Beauty… you see the Night Sky through an Artist’s Eye. The Moon is a Lantern for Dreams… Shades of Lavender as you slumber.. falling Stars for a Comforter… Pleasant Dreams.. softly, Pat

[Poetic Beauty]

[Poetic Beauty]

When I write at night my mind is calm and the world around me is quiet.

"until only onyx can be seen" interesting line...my students and I often talk about whether

black is actually a color, or an absence of...NIght time seems the right time to write...

I really like when you approach imagery with your deft pen.

Before I started writing that night; I had watched the sunset. One of my favorite times of day is twilight as the sky is painted with dark reds and purples before the stars dance and onyx takes over.

I typically am very calm when I’m writing at night. The vibration and energy of the world around has become more subtle.

What a splendid meditation poemed .. reads like a rainbow reflected through a prism & likewise enjoyed .. Neville

[Poetic Beauty]

It is a very calming poem. That’s how I feel at night when I begin to write.

Thank you my dear friend N for your kind words and I’m glad you enjoy this poem!

[Neville]

.................... I most surely did👍

[E.P. Robles]

I enjoyed your poem, "Creative Nights" very much.

Your poem is a meditative and richly descriptive piece that captures the profound beauty of twilight and night. It speaks to the universal experience of finding peace and inspiration in the quiet moments after sunset, illustrating how the external world mirrors the internal journey of the mind.

Thank you for sharing!

[Poetic Beauty]

I’m pleased that you were able to feel the meditative and calming affect of this poem. My mind and whole being is much more at peace and creative in the late hours when the world around me doesn’t move as fast as it did during the daylight.
