The stillness of the evening casts a sheen upon the lake
reflections of a sunset are two-fold,
sit a while and hold your breath, the view is yours to take
it’s captured in your heart for you to hold.
A skein of geese fly overhead, their calls disturb the peace
but soon they pass and everything is still,
the chatter in the tree tops by the roosting birds will cease
and acrobatic bats provide a thrill.
As nature’s living canvas is re-painted one last time
the first of many stars pin point the sky,
the evening sun retreats before the moon begins it’s climb;
a hunting owl lets out an eerie cry.
It’s time to leave this magic place, retrace your footsteps home,
the night time is the time for stunning dreams,
with images inside your head, you’ll have no need to roam
your path illuminated by moon beams.
Take this picture with you as you finally dim the light,
now may your troubles disappear … I’ll bid you all, “Good night”.
