Silence

As tiny children sleep in bed
a soft pillow lying under their
heads,

The moon is full with not a cloud
in the sky, as puppy and kitty
by the fireplace sigh,

They sigh only in their minds that
their owners cannot play, as outside
the fish float in the bay,

The owl has been awakened by the stars
in the sky,it takes off for flight in
the middle of the night,

Soon there is not one sound there is
silence in the night as dawn approaches,
and the darkness slowly fades away,

This night is over but it will be reborn
at the end of a country day.

~ what a fabulous closing to a beautiful piece of poetry

Maggie, I do hope you'll keep sharing with us, as this piece just lit up my morning,
and that's quite something because I'm all the way over on the other side of the planet :)

I'm off to read your other poems now *smiles*

love this!!!

*hugs*

Author: tcn [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 17:51:16 01/04/08 Fri Thanks so much for reading and reviewing Maggie's poetry. She's had a rough time of it lately and she needs the boost! I showed her this page and she became inspired. Today she showed her poetry to her teachers and the social worker at school that she confides in. She came home really happy:) Thanks again!
