Here's a poem I decided to write, I felt kinda inspired after spending a while in the woods, just hiking and hanging around. It's for Erica, who asked me to write a cheery, optimistic poem. Hope you guys like it, and hope it doesn't suck…
The dullness of night
The creak of crickets
Chills in the air
Darkness creeping over
The hills and creeks
Silently stalking
Across the meadow
Breezes swing across the fields
Through the trees
Across my cheeks
Moving over the sky
Is a quiet cloud
The moon rises
Wolves sing aloud
Quietly I smile
As those wolves start to linger
The dark of night
Loiters on and on
Until the break of day
The blackness recedes
Slowly disappearing
Engulfed by the light
Slowly the Sun rises
As a giant star
Immersed in brightness
For all to admire
The birds tweet again
As I open my eyes
My hand touches grass
Wet to the touch
Slowly the sky darkens
As clouds pass the sky
The first raindrops of the day
Fall on my face
I smile
Dancing in the rain
The sounds of thunder booming in the distance
The pit pat of rain on the ground
Puddles in my clothes
Finally I go home
Tired and sleepy
Back to civilization
Where I have a warm blanket and a hot chocolate calling my name
