Have you ever gone outside and stood perfectly still
Allowed the power of the night to overtake you
As the twilight transcends the last rays of the sunset
Stars pop out and become a canopy
Over the Heavens above you


Moon seems to hang by an invisible thread
Bound to the sky by our Maker's hand
Hazy mountains in the distance silhouette the horizon
The night-bird's call thrills the heart and soul


Pungent fragrance of roses in the garden
A ker-plop sound as a frog jumps from a lilly pad
Into the pond at the base of the hill
Shivers of delight create a slight chill
I dwell on all that is
And encircle my arms to warm myself

I turn to take in the tranquil beauty of the sight
But something is absent from this 'almost' perfect night

And then

I am Aware

It

Is

You
