SEEKING MORE WISDOM AND LOVE

The new month's crescent has come again
On the western side of the evening sky
It is chilly but I want to gain
More of wisdom with an inspired why?

The owl's hoot and the night bird's screech
Along with the untiring cricket's mirth
The creamy light fighting the haze
A pervading silence more sombre than speech.

A flask of hot tea and some snacks for me
Without asking God gave these to me
Wondrous are His love and care
Dewdrops bathe a tear on my knee.

There is so much each night in the vast open
Peace, quiet, solitude and even reason
Solace and comfort for my restless mind
Where else can I all this find?

And if my beloved had been here too
It would have been even better
Cuddled together and sharing warmth
It would have been a dream come true.
