Nocturnal Reflections
I watched the sun go down
And listened to the hush
as the night settles over the town
a cicada is loud in the silence
and frogs soon echo their song
the moon glitters through the trees
as branches weave in the breeze
I draw drapes to shut out the sight
Too soon to retire I sit down to write
and now as the anniversary looms
perhaps a memoir and a poem
