A n errant dog barks at the crescent moon.
A silent leaf to the ground does swoon.
Quiet are the dusty winding ways
Except for a hoot through the opaque haze.
A guard yawns loud and rather lazily .
While the drunk weaves about very crazily .
Silence sings the song of the cricket
Moonlight gleams on the leaves of the thicket
The twinkling stars blink away the night
And it is soon time for the first daylight .
The cloak of darkness parts for the nascent sun.
Heralding that the new day has just begun.
The cricket’s nightsong gives way to twitter
The wake- up call for every living critter .
As Day follows Night in eternal rotation
A diurnal cycle of never ending COMPLETION.

Shubd what a great post. Very nicely done.
Transition and completion. The purpose of nature. Well put. Vivid.
Thanks Jadey and Anthony North .
Each 24 hour cycle is so complete in itself and yet is part of a continuous process. Somewhat like us. We are complete individual entities and yet a microcosm of a unit when considered to the whole of mankind.
"The cloak of darkness parts for the nascent sun.
Heralding that the new day has just begun."
I found this very metaphorical..lovely use of words
you've captured this beautifully... i liked the part when night turns into day...very very magical!!!
@rambler , suma
Thank you both . Perhaps that being the hour of the Muse it probably turns out well as a tribute to her :)
Nice work! The words are superb and the images flow!
wow! the whole cycle , rendered picturesque. Loved the way you've brought in all activities into the passing of day and night.
