The Night

Against the black night sky,

little specks of gold

cast a beautiful glow

across the earth.

Reflected in the eyes of

strangers

is a beauty like

no other.

The hard ground

cradles you

as you lie on your back

to stare up at these

strange things,

losing all sense of time.

A Summer's Day

I sit on the concrete steps in front of the house,

basking in the warm

sunlight.

I let the rays of yellow light

dance playfully on my face,

sending me into a

dreamy state.

I let my eyes close,

and my hair sweeps the

porch

as I lay my head back

onto the

dusty wood.

In that moment,

free from the burden of the

world,

I let the warmth and the

joyful peace

a summer's day brings

lull me to

sleep.
