I wish the nights would last forever —
The solace of the silence
Reach further into my soul.
The emptiness around me
Those asleep tucked in tight.
Me — the only one knowing
What happens in the night:
The rabbits nibble
The owls hoot
The raccoons forage
The trees shimmer.
Beautiful in their existence
And I but one to notice.
And that is the magic of the nights.
