NATURE AT NIGHT
by lee ann mcclure
Full moon in the sky so bright
Filling the land with shadows and light
Moonbeams blend with darkness, stark in contrast
Stretching across the land, so far and vast.
Snow white and crisp upon the ground
Moon shadows are looming all around
Branches from trees piercing the sky
nature's beauty can never die.
Through the land a gentle breeze
The cold air generating Nature’s freeze
snowflakes spinning, landing everywhere
Leaving nothing exposed, nothing bare.
See that fox? There it goes
Where is it going? Nobody knows
As it moves, it leaves a trail
Searching for food, but to no avail.
Sounds are heard everywhere
Birds are chanting without a care
Awoken by the Winter cold
As Nature’s icy grip takes hold.
But darkness is a time to peak
A time for the Owl to search and seek
The hunt for food, the need to eat
Keeps many creatures in retreat.
The howl of a wolf in the distance so far
Echoes skyward to a shining star
Looking down over this enchanted scene
Its silver light is so serene.
Beautiful, cold, hidden but alive
A place where life does truly thrive
Quietly living their life with delight
Throughout each day and endless night.
