The music of a fleeting wind
sweeps through the silence,
trapped in oak’s branches,
its whispers in hollow reeds.
Lit by thousands of fireflies,
conducted by the still stars,
Nature’s concert starts again,
as the moonlight falls on us.
Its lyrics of drowned sorrow,
given by us to the darkness,
makes our mindless worries
fade slowly as dawn comes.
In the ice-like October night,
the heat of smoldering fires
keeping their dreams warm;
half the planet sleeps cozily,
oblivious to night’s magic.

Poetry & writing to me are to me, a breath of fresh air in a life that is sometimes covered by the smoke of sorrow or self doubt. They also become the sweets I share to celebrate when life offers me a reason to. But most of all, they are to me, my life. For each word I write is a piece of my heart, a thought that just had to find its way into the world.
Wow, Leo- you have done so much so early. I really enjoyed this… I love night's symphony especially when camping.

A beautifully written coupling of prompts, Leo. Made me want to close my eyes again and return to the symphony of sleep sounds.~Paula

I close my eyes and hear your woodwinds and reeds. Crickets add the strings and frogs the percussion as I drift to sleep.

My vision of nature was much bleaker; I enjoyed the restfulness of yours.
