As night comes to pass <br />over my home, my land, <br /> I find myself here, <br />Alone I stand. <br /> The moonlit earth <br />Surrounds, engulfs me. <br /> I find in no place other <br />I'd rather be. <br /> The moon to me, <br />Fells so empowering. <br /> It's mysterious light <br />Now showering <br /> Upon me. <br /> I see <br /> Peace of mind. <br /> A place where free, I ride. <br /> I long to fly <br /> In a night sky. <br /> <br /> Stars gleam, <br />So far away... <br /> Only to vanish <br />With each new day. <br /> Though they return <br />always as night falls, <br /> Giants so large, in the sky <br />Seem so very small. <br /> Make the map, in the sky. <br />For nightly travelers wand’ring <br /> And give life to <br />Night creatures that sing. <br /> <br /> In Nature so kind, <br /> I always find <br /> My peace of mind. <br /> Free I ride, <br /> Alone I fly, <br /> In the night sky…<br /><br />David N.
