Above on a branchthe wise owl danced,wearing a necklaceof wind and leaves. In the dark, owls dance, stars shine blue, full moons illuminate disappointed lovers or pawmarks in the snow. Written in the silence and solitude of the night, Night Poems is a collection of free-verse poems for young, old, and everyone in between. Universal themes such as the turning of the seasons, the daily round, love, nostalgia, and even death all have their moment in the candlelight. The night skyis full of silver stars.A soft breezecaresses the leavesthat shimmerin the moonlight.The scent of the lilacfills my mindand I recallhowonce upona timeI lovedyouso much!
