The Midnight Song
The midnight moon whispers softly
As it rises above the clouds who shadow it
The sun curses the night as it falls
But the night sings with joy when it is gone
Little frogs and crickets dance with fireflies
Owls and bats fly around like as in a dream
The wolf commands creatures on the ground and howls
And the thieves, a racoon and rat, steal and loot from others
All while we look out from our homes,
Wondering what sounds the night makes
But we do never dare venture out to discover
The wonderful sounds of a new world
For it is like a symphony of natural sounds
A symphony that can put one to sleep and make them stay asleep
And when we fall into a deep, dark endless chasm of thoughts which we call rest
The nights draws closer to us while we lay
And peacefully says:
Goodnight

I was inspired to wright this piece because of all the noises I hear at night. I live in a marsh area, and all of the sounds remind me of a symphony. I was originally just checking off the boxes for a school project, but I started to get really into it. This is one of my first works, so I hope you enjoy "The Midnight Song."
