A night of joy

The sun has disappeared, and its night at last!

I can sense a magic that wasn't there in the past.

Stars have vanished from the sky today.

Angels in the clouds have lured them away.

Darkness all around and darker skies.......

I can feel the beauty, that I cannot see with my eyes.

And emerging suddenly with a silver robe,

Is a slender slice of the celestial globe.

 The perfect crescent, tilted slightly to the right,

Never before have I seen a more beautiful sight.

Gentle creatures have now become gregarious.

Oh, my humble backyard looks so glorious!

Says the grass to the whistling breeze,

"Hush, my dear! let's enjoy the peace."

And cradling me in this dreamy haze,
Is a night of joy, a night of grace.
