Goodnight

When you are sitting in the dark on your favorite swing

under your favorite tree

and you look around you

you can see the fireflies

flashing to you

a goodnight...

And you see the shadows within the shadows

lurking towards you

only to discover

your own dear kitty cat

coming to cuddle

their goodnight...

When you look up through the great leaves

and see the stars

twinkling

a goodnight...

To hear the sound of the crickets and frogs

chirping

a goodnight...

The boughs of your beloved tree

bending low

to embrace you

goodnight...

And the ghosts of your imagination

coming to kiss you

goodnight...

The wind

caressing

goodnight...
