A Peaceful Night

The last of the sunlight's rays set beyond the horizon;
The peacefulness settles among the world.
The whispers of the trees,
The flight of nocturnal wings,
The sounds of night hushes the world.
The moon listens, the rivers hum,
Darkness settles among the hills
The trees are quiet,
The shrubs do not stir
As Death passes along the pathway
Stopping by every organism,
Quieting the elements of nature.
Earth settles down,
The moon dances with the stars
Along the milky way;
The birds are silent,
The mice make no peep,
As Mother Earth settles down for her forever sleep.
