Nightfall - An Original Poem

in #poetry6 years ago

image

Busy beds in quiet homes
Carry the weight of snoring men
The cries of the oceans grow louder
As the silvery shadows of the moon fall upon it
In the absence of recalcitrant winds,
Trees stand still and idly in the forest.
Staring at chirping birds retiring to their nests
The ants are creeping out of their graves
To gather tiny things before winter
It is nightfall
Every creature must answer their call
