night – Carl Setzer: Word Shaper

The Song Of Streetlights

darkness

the song

of streetlights

silence
between raindrops
streetlight's domain

darkness of late night 
sounds drift from my neighbor's house 
right past the streetlight

as I look skywards 
the moon with sparkling stars 
such graceful motion

Night’s sky with the moon, Jupiter and Venus

in this twilight sky
moon and planets aligning 
celestial

night falls 
dreams rise up
behold silence

under the street light
with the gently falling rain
sipping my coffee

sunlight has faded
roses bloom in the darkness 
remnants of summer

waking in darkness 
underneath the fullest moon 
delightful silence

underneath streetlights
remembering sidewalks past
journeys on concrete
