Moonlight on meadows, The unseen is out of the shadows, On a tranquil night, I feel inspired to write. The stillness of the night is a moment in time when nature is mystic and sublime, A time when the night speaks, A time when the deep reveals what’s hidden. Twilight summons the moon, The elements respond and are in tune, The night takes away its veil, Mysteries set sail. I search the deep, There’s a turbulence I can’t keep, I look into the sacred books, I anticipate redemption’s call. Third Place Podium Finish in Poetry Soup Contest
