wild and free
unseen voices
serenade me
Fear not the dark
listen to songs
and flights
with romantic tones
Bats wing unseen
almost silently fly
while frog and crickets sing
fireflies blink amorous sighs
Deep in the dark
predators roam
who feed on the songsters
no right or wrong
Day breaks
night beauty fades
with the sun's light
dark feast degrades
Rest for the return of the night.

The night is still alive with all those sounds.. really nothing to fear but more enjoy.
I love that first light
Like the thought of . . .
Colors of the night
Wild and free . . .
this describes the night perfectly and i like it a lot. this part
Deep in the dark
predators roam
who feed on the songsters
no right or wrong
is why I am afraid of the dark.... it is not the dark i fear but what is hidden in the dark...
Fear not the dark
listen to songs
and flights
with romantic tones
Loved these lines. The night holds both beauty and fear.. you have depicted the blend of both beautifully :)
Lots of love,

Beautifully written !
I like the way you have expressed that there is so much that is unseen in the night, but that does not mean there is not a lot of activity going on beneath its cover.
I love this poem , full of the creatures of the night.
This is beautiful Gail, night becomes an enigma here with all those unseen things hidden under its wing...wow...and i superlike the first stanza. ...the rhythm simply draws me into the poem...
Now that was a very good read ... loved it.
I thought how you'd phrased and spaced the lines / words really worked well.
Thank you.
All the best Jan
Beautiful poem, I love it! I have seen the bats flying and the fireflies in my yard at dusk! Happy weekend!
Night can be both a place of freedom and pain..I sense in this piece as sense of figuring out what it quite means to us..
Gail, I love to listen to the sounds of the bugs, whatever they are, as they serenade me to sleep at night.
Love the "dark feast degrades" line best of all.
Well done!
=)
Well being a night owl is one way to spend the time.
The night is so alive--loved the line with amorous sighs!
I see it all so clearly!
I love the voice that you have given to nature.
