Come Softly, Starlight – A Poem

© 2005 | Graceful Intention | All Rights Reserved

 

Come softly, starlight;

The day is almost done.

All too soon, whispers of the dawn

Will steal away the night.

 

Tender are the moon’s blue rays,

Smooth ripples in a pond.

All throughout the scape the sound

Of many unhurried ways.

 

Nature comes alive at night;

Small creatures wake to life.

Almost forgot, the wound of strife,

Uncovered sweet delight!

 

Steal softly starlight;

The morn is coming soon.

But beyond another noon,

A welcomed respite!
