Crickets and frogs

The sounds of night give me gossamer wings of glistening threads flight into silver dreams

Perfume of jasmim carried on the breeze meets whispers of leaves in a chorus of trees 

A festival of light carried by fireflies illuminate the meadow with frog and cricket cries

A warm blanket of stillness in the air, a soft creaking on the porch of the rocking chair

The visuals and the mood is just lovely. I live in a tropical island, you have captured the beauty and sounds of the night and made it magical and alive. It's so peaceful to just sit in a rocking chair and just take in the night and all its sounds, and the cool breeze, with a cosy blanket. So beautiful, Soren.

It must be nice to be able to access these wonderful natural effects. Where I live, due to creeping urbanization, the crickets, frogs and fireflies are long departed.

Thank you so much for the read John. Yes I have lived for years in more urban areas as well and now in my old age I have gone back to the country

There's nothing better than taking a walk, in the quiet of night with just the sounds of crickets...feeling the cool night air. It's just beautiful and this poem turns a simple night into a symphony. Reading it, I could almost feel the warm stillness and float along with those silver-threaded dreams. Beautifully evocative.

I think I would like to be on that porch with a warm blanket taking it all in. This poem stimulates the senses, sight, sound, smell, touch. A mug of hot chocolate and my taste buds would be happy too. I would think I was in heaven if I saw all those fireflies light up the night. Like a visit from dearly departed spirits. Lovely poetry Soren.

Thank you so much Chris for your read and most kind words of comment they are always most appreciated. I was sitting just their the night I wrote it and realized how perfect the night and place was so had to put it to words. Sometimes we are blessed with a glimpse of heaven.

[Chris Shaw]

Those moments are worth cherishing and poeming them is even better. You then share the lovely experience with others:)

I was just teaching Emily's "Because I could not stop for Death" today...
and in that poem she uses "Gossamer"

great word...and those cricket cries...wish I knew what they were saying.

Thank you Jacob I appreciate the read and maybe that is where I got the word long ago but I can't help but notice that there are quite a lot of it throughout the grass pasture around the house.
