The Night Sky Darkens
Abundant Beauty


Beauty of Nature
The night sky darkens and stars shine sublime
the moon radiating over landscape and pond
Beauty of the night in shadows and sound
No birds in flight can be found
Far off the faint roar of the sea
waves crashing on the rocks in the cove
The full moon beams forth it never sleeps
Till the the sun over the horizon it peeps
The sunrise heralds the day and the birds they awake
Singing their song the stillness they break
Busy themselves with food for their young
picking up straw for new nests they make
Time for man to take to the plough
Horses, cattle and sheep dotted around
each busy with grazing, their bellies do fill
As far as the eye can see, over yonder hill
So the beauty of day and the night
Each have a purpose and an end in sight
Resting and working man follows the cycle
Blessings in the harvest for John, Tim and Michael.
Goats having a drink
Green Fields
A White Horse Standing in a Field

Peggy,
Thank for your lovely comment. Creatures large and small, make up our diverse world and surroundings. I would miss them if they were suddenly gone.

I like how you portrayed the cyclic workings of creatures large and small in the 24-hour period of each day in your poetry. The photos and your art embellished this beautifully.
