Sitting on these

back garden steps,

The rain drops speckled

with iridescent flecks,

In the quiet look up

at the moon so high,

Slowly moving

across the sky,

A nearby rustle

shift your eyes,

Away from the endless

star spangled skies,

A hedgehog appears

not one but two,

You hold your breath

enjoy the view,

Moths dance in moonlight

unseen during the day,

And bats wiz on by

over rooftops far away

The distant sound

of a car going by,

It screams as it turns

a driveshafts cry,

Get up 5 minutes over

leave the stunning nightly glow,

Time revolves there’s stuff to do

come on you’ve got to go…x.
