Ode to the Night

Everything I have is nothing I need

Black as black can be

It holds the secrets of the past

And the mysteries of the future

The pearled sky flickers

Stars embroidered on the black fabric of the night

The cool wind whips the trees

The scent of a nearby campfire lingers

You hear the toads and crickets mingling in the darkness

The beasts of the obscurity out to hunt

Slowly the night becomes no more

The flare of day rises

Then you realize 

Everything I see is everything I need

The Perfect Morning

A Perfect Morning

A Rarity

Like finding a four leaf clover

You don’t realize it until it happens

To me

To rise before the sun

Enjoy the calmness of dawn

Watch the sun

The morning is a harmonious time

To listen to the symphony of early morning

A moment where time stops

Once the moment ends the day starts

A perfect start to a perfect day.

Short Lived

A moment in time that we will never get back

The pure freedom is only a memory

The painted skies have begun to fade.

Our house has a new family 

Me vs you turned to us vs them

Turned into me

And then you

Early morning runs to late night games

We came from sea to shining sea

Just to see what it was like 

Spending the nights in the outdoors

Finding hidden beauty

But who knew 

That 

A moment in time we will never forget

We wish we could go back

Like a sun setting on the ocean

It goes from beautiful to darkness in a short second
