Midnight

Midnight speaks
No sound is heard
No one whispers
Not a word

Stars above
still as can be
Each one separate
silent and free

Trees surround
dark silhouettes
Hiding predators
Others regret

Smallest lights
Flickering on
Fireflies blink
Before the dawn

So you pause
Enjoy this time
Feel the breeze
It's no crime

Go to sleep
Don't stay awake
When morning comes
Nights a fake
