Sights And Sounds Of The Night
by
C. E. Chandler
The first frost of the season is now found all around,
and soon a blanket of snow will cover the ground.
The trees by my house are now void of leaves,
and the mountains can be seen despite the trees.
A Jay is heard scolding the branches tossed by the breeze,
and I listen to the wind, as it blows threw the trees.
Blowing down the barren hills, windy gusts, naked willows, trees adjust to the cold within the nights fluffy pillows.
Wood smoke in the cold air, drifting through the night.
Floating on a starry night, but seen only in the moonlight.
I heard a coyote tonight, and wondered at the mournful call,
if he only knew, he lived in the best place of all.
Through the laughter and sorrow of life you glide,
like a high soaring eagle, with wings spread wide.
Enjoy the Sights and Sounds of the Night,
for all to soon, there will be sunlight.
