Quiet Is The Night

Poetry

quiet is the night
the day already spent
never noiseless in daylight
the peacefulness of the night
heaven sent

we make our choices in life
with so many cares
waiting for good results
we wonder how we’ll fare

so the night brings relief
in silent, starry skies
we give in to the peace
and let go of our sighs

our hearts never really alone
our souls have watchful eyes
bringing us restoration
like a piece of homemade pie

we gather up for work each day
but a night of silence
brings rest and relaxation
needed for the next busy day

the night partners with the
light of day
to give us what we need
in their very own special way
like planting tiny seeds

we walk the earth
our home away from home
for we were birthed in the stars
life gave us to roam
