A full moon suspended
In a slate grey sky
Wisps of clouds illuminated
As they drift casually by.
Stars sparkle brightly
Un-obscured by any cloud
The Milky Way packed tightly
Where thousands seem to crowd.
Aeroplanes criss- cross the skies
For far off cities bound
Cats and dogs night time cries
The only other sounds
Moths and many other creatures
Flutter furiously in the light
Spiders crawl from cracks and fissures
In their element at night
A serene and soothing silence
Steadily descends
Night in all of its magnificence
As yet another day ends.
