PERFECT NIGHT

The moon and stars they shine so bright

On this my perfect summer night

The owl he hoots and looks for prey

After resting through the long hot day

The calm and stillness all around

Gives a feel of peace as night drops down

The hot ground gives the evening scent

Honeysuckle and Jasmine the main event

A peaceful feel and relaxed state

Are just inside my garden gate

I don’t feel the need to roam

As all I wish for is at home

A shooting star across the sky

While fireflies dance in late July

This has to be my ideal place

Where I find happiness and solace

An urban fox is on his rounds

He creeps around and makes no sounds

I sit here with my drink in hand

And thank my gods for this Promised Land

It’s late now and I go to sleep

No nightmares or the need to weep

For when the sunrise lights the sky

I’ll be there to wish the night goodbye

Oh perfect night, I’ll miss you so

Your sunset and your afterglow

When next day’s done, I’ll feel so right

Looking for another perfect night
