THE NIGHT WAS STILL
THE MOON WAS FULL
IT’S FACE TURNED TOWARD ME
SMILING DOWN ON EARTH BELOW
ALL WAS QUIET IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD
NOT A SOUND FROM DOG OR CAT
A CURTAIN FLUTTERED WITH A COOLING BREEZE
AS I SIGHED AGAINST THE PILLOWS WHERE I SAT
MY EAR CAUGHT THE SOUNDS
OF ANGELIC SINGING -
SOMEWHERE OFF BEYOND THE STARS -
AND SENT MY HEART A-WINGING
WHEN THE SOFT EARTH COOLS
AND THE AIR TURNS SWEET WITH PROMISE
THIS FRAIL HUMAN SHELL
ACHES TO BE WITH ITS CREATOR!
