Nightwood

There is a quiet in the winter wood,
A strange dark beauty in pine forest things -
The nightbirds that rise on shadowy wings
ANd the phantom trees in their solitude.
The moon, moth white, lingers motionless,
Then leans like a lover to kiss the lake.
SHe touches the surface as if to wake
The still, dark water with her light caress.
There is a quiet in the midnight wood,
Yet in the sacred silence, still the sound
Of wood creature watching from limb and ground
To keep their sanctuary's solemn mood.

I watch with them in worship and in awe,
Then whisper a prayer before I withdraw.
