The night is peaceful
The sky is clear
You can only hear
The sounds of the distance
A random call
A child’s delight
The moon peaks through
Scattered clouds so high
The stars in the sky
Try their best to shine
While others begin
Their sleep through the night
And I wonder how
Peace so complete
Can fail to beat
The shadows away
As I sit here watching
In the pale moonlight
The hours like days
Creep along like snails
And my heart fails
To find relief
As I sit here wondering
If things will be all right
