Lying awake late into the night

I contemplate this day in my life

Tremendous low ebb, fantastic heights

Blending the lines between joy and strife.

My thoughts rush on in free flight

This way and that, what can I reason?

Then the hint of nature’s true might

A new beginning, a new season.

Calming as the rhythmic lapping on the lake shore

Spare breezes fondling the turning leaves

A canopy of stars strengthen some more

The rising moon romantic dreams it weaves

Glory to love, let it soar!
