Midnight

The earth is stilled,
And all lie peacefully in their beds
Except for the night owl who stalks it's prey,
And those too afraid to forage by day,
Or souls gone so far that they've lost their way.
It's midnight.

The sky is darkened;
Daylight departed hours before.
Only the stars to fill the sky
As the twinkle of moonlight catches the eye.
The earth seems to moan with a heavy sigh
At midnight.

We are reborn...
Rekindling the body with wondrous rest...
Reflecting on folly with family and friends...
Putting the wounds of the day on the mend...
Peace... Meditation... A new day begins
At midnight.
