Midnight Songs, A Poem of Solitude
In the darkness
Around me
Crickets sing midnight songs
With a melody of
"Chee-ceeee,
Chee-ceeee,
Chee-ceeee."
The raindrops
Slide off leaves
Above and
Splat
With rhythm of
Plot-plot,
Plot-plot.
The gravel recites
A raspy verse
With a crinkle crunch,
Crinkle crunch
Under my step.
I think I am alone,
But for these
Soft voices singing
Sorrowful lullabies
As I walk the long path
To dawn.
Sometimes as I fight depression I go for long midnight walks, once in a while, the night sounds give me inspiration and hope.
