Peace

And so peace descends tonight
tranquil,serene,like moonlight
like softly falling snow,upon the earth
Like ripples on a lake, glistening in mirth
Like a warm blanket, a yellow hearth
It brings strange thoughts to mind
Like the soft rolling bells,of a distant church,
Makes you leave your worries behind...
And the waxing,gibbous moon delights
in showing you the way
Through whistling trees,where insects star in raucous fights,
like silhouettes in black and gray
And slowly crawls that wisp of light
Through the inky black of night
And soon 'tis time for a clear blue sky
When peace leaves you,makes you wanna cry...
