Blurred, steely moon came
'fore twelve midnight...strong wind blew
Between moon and me...
Chilly silence cloaked
A long sleepless night......as hushed
Night creatures connived
No dogs barked, or howled
No cats growled, or called their mates
Frogs didn't dare croak
Silhouettes swayed on
Big shadows cowered.........wind, sang
Its weird lullaby
Stilled moon stayed put.......as
Dark indigo firmament
P a t i e n t l y watched................while
Earth moved...............tides, ebbed...flowed
Time passed..........moon ceded.........then came
............................Fiery Orb............at dawn.
