ALONE WITH NIGHT

BY R. MIRANDA

Silently I sit
alone with the sound
of night’s melody
echoing through the thoughts
left stagnant from the business
of day’s long toil.

The harshness
becoming as water
flowing over the river’s rocks,
now smooth from nature’s
constant caress,
washing away all
feelings of loneliness.

I am at peace
with the stars. | RM
