Do you feel the chill of the evening
Setting like dew on your skin
While a gentle breeze
Brushes over you body?
Do you hear the cicadas
As they call from their den
The buzzing of membranous wings
Motors humming
Like purring lions
And the murmur
Of sleeping souls?
Can you see the glow of the moon
Behind your closed eye lids
And the brilliant pinpricks
Of the evening stars?
Can you feel it
In your bones
In your soul
Everything
Some alive
Some not
Breathing in the night
As one?
Can you feel the beauty
Of this night
As I do
Sitting beside you
Feeling your warmth
And smelling the scent
Of your soap
Like lavender
And sweet pea
Hoping
Praying
That you can feel the evening
Like I do?
I hope that you can
Because then
We can feel the night's wonder
As one
Together.
