(8 DEC 2011 - With the Birth of a New Day, one has but to look to the Sun Rise over the eastern Horizon to feel its Blessings and to somehow have the myriad tangle of emotions soothed. dht)
The other worldliness of daytime's shrubbery engenders an eerie ire for those who would brave a stroll -- as Nature assumes its nightly cloak.
There is a cautious stillness that accompanies one's shallow breath while perambulating around the neighborhood.
The only audible sounds – those of ducks and birds at their evening ablutions.
My Spirit proffers an inaudible reply to Nature's call for "Taps," as the sinking sun slips into slumber.
The soft breeze, rustling in the leaves of the Oak Trees, gives a final fare-thee-well.
The "storms" of the day find their rest, and a quiet mood settles down upon the Land.
The night holds the land in quiet slumber.
The night is black – silver threads of moonlight tease the shadows to a melodious serenade.
All too soon, the new dawn will awaken – as the stars that held vigil through the night, begin to fade, yielding their tour to the sunrise's hint of color across a morning's eastern horizon.
[Dorothy Hazel Tarr - 2011]
