A very well-written free verse ode to the night, when everything comes to a stand still and we can have peace in our hearts and enjoy the silence of the night and let our thoughts flow.

Comment from Miss Sherry
This is soft and strong, words flow and thoughts read so easily, keeping the reader thinking of the verse. I like your artwork. It is dark and moody, like the verse. You have done a great job in writing this.

I like Night ode. I too have owed night a lot for thoughts and dream schemes.
You have an elegant way with words . The thrall of day...thrall I've got to use that today. I'm in the South , I could say, "Y'all come back thrall."
God bless

Comment from C. Gale Burnett
How I love the line 'the light is drowned tonight beneath a turquoise sea'. The light drifting down into the sea and drowning. That verse was unique and brilliant, and it drew my attention back up to the artwork, which I now saw in a different light.
Loved the last stanza, especially, 'time to think without the thrall of day' AND 'discerning ... the part ... I shall choose to play.'
Overall presentation is gorgeous.
Beautiful poem! Thank you for sharing :)
Fondly,
Gale

Comment from HealingMuse
Hi TF,
This is an exceptionally well-written, thought-provoking, and insightful poem, my friend. Quite a delightful read. I have long been convinced the world would be a much better place if more people spent time in self-review of the day's events, then choosing to live consciously and deliberately, altering course, as needed.
Thanks for sharing.

Comment from Dolly'sPoems
Although this is a free verse, your words have a lot of melody and they sing to me here. I note a selection of clever internal rhyming: falls/calls, and end rhyme: day/play, just enough to give the poem a lift without intruding, and the sentiments of the dark night allowing you to gather your thoughts is serene as the turquoise of the sea disappears and gives way to the dark night. Enjoyed, love Dolly x

I like this, Tony. It's a lovely description of the world when the sun sets and how it affects you.
The artwork is a perfect fit.

Comment from WryWriter
I am reminded of Shakespeare and "all the world's a stage" and we "merely players." I love the last stanza! When the world goes dark and quiet, my mind opens up like an orchid in bloom. Artwork and background color choice fits this theme so well. The opening stanza awes. Great job!

Comment from QC Poet
The part of a philosopher poet may be in order based on the pondering of this dark cold world fading to blackness. Interesting concept and perspective rolled into a poetic form.Thank you for Sharing your Gifts.
