+Night+

At night,

Beyond the distant darkness

Flickers a light

Reflecting tears that glisten in the moonlight

As shadows begin to fade

And echoes are dampened

Silence rises,

The land is still

The horizon stays clear

And nothing can be seen in the distance

Shimmering drops fall,

Pattering on the ground

Leave traces where they go

Waiting to be found

A mystery,

What happens beyond our gaze

Unknown to the eye

But never forgotten

This is a great poem. The words pulled me in and I got an image of pain and loneliness. Very good.
