Night

Quiet descends with
The dark as night
Covers our hillside,
The sun has passed
On west dipping below
Pacific rim,
All the delicate sounds
Of night come alive
Crickets
Frogs
Owls
Lovers.
Hidden from sight
All things may act
As they please,
Shedding their
Reticence to
Embrace
Their
Own
Desires.
Breathe deep the
Fresh night air,
Feel the
Cool
Breezes
On one’s skin
Goosebumps rise
Lips touch
Sweet
Sense of closeness
Holding tight
Our precious
One beside
Us in the
Dark.
Then ...
Rest.
