I Contemplate the Night

as the crickets make their music
the fog pirouettes across the fields
while moisture fights cohesion
and rolls over the edges of the clouds

dewy-eyed and longing
for morning light

still and melancholy
the lonely ache in silence
closed off from themselves
and trying to remain hopeful
as time somehow marks time
louder once the sun retires

and I sit here, awake
as I am so often in the
latest of hours
thinking about my life
and all I have yet to discover
while I quietly contemplate the night

The Poem Junction: I Contemplate the Night

I Contemplate the Night

as the crickets make their music
the fog pirouettes across the fields
while moisture fights cohesion
and rolls over the edges of the clouds

dewy-eyed and longing
for morning light

still and melancholy
the lonely ache in silence
closed off from themselves
and trying to remain hopeful
as time somehow marks time
louder once the sun retires

and I sit here, awake
as I am so often in the
latest of hours
thinking about my life
and all I have yet to discover
while I quietly contemplate the night
