Night

I sit and wait through the night
watching the stars up high
I lay on my back
as I watch
The twinkling lights in the sky
A soft wind blows
through the trees
as they stay at rest
and a little blue jay
flies around
and over to her nest
A weeping willow above me
sways softly in the wind
waiting for the day to come
and the sun to rise again
A white owl hoots
letting me know he's there
he sits and watches me
with big eyes
on the branch that he uses as a chair
Everything's calm and still
on this peaceful night
I close my eyes and fall into a slumber
until wakened by the light
