CYCLE 

Beautiful sky of the night 

Holding your gaze with its stars 

Insects chirping in delight 

Unaware of your existence but somehow making you aware of theirs

The darkness of the night increases one’s fright

and releases the fears that you hid behind bars

You mutter a word of prayer and shut your eyes real tight 

Silently hoping and silently waiting for the morning light.

This night feels longer than one expects 

And the morning light is no where in sight

So you lay your head back and decide to enjoy the night 

The chirping of insects suddenly sounds like the perfect lullaby 

And the croaking of frogs might be the best back up 

The stars though, you wonder how they shine so bright 

So you slowly fall in love with the night 

And find yourself in another land

Where you danced under the moonlight 

And the stars were jealous that you stole the spotlight 

The trees around seemed to clap and cheer at your performance 

You were living your dreams in your dreams.

You wake up to the morning light

that you once hoped for but was no where in sight 

You realise you miss the night 

And the dream! You’d like to live it over again 

So you go about your day silently hoping, silently waiting for another beautiful night.
