Midnight reflections 01
The sounds at midnight dwindled
To the soft chirps of distant crickets.
The faint reflections of electric lights
From across the street, Pulsated with the gentle breeze,
Brushing the trees that stood guard over the quite pavements.
Somewhere I know, the sun blazes the snow covered mountains.
The stars in their posts forever watching,
Just watching all that unfolds on this ancient earth.
I sighed resigned to what feeble impact my existence made.
Time shall erase the footprints I left behind.
About this poem
Reflecting on the reality that life is truly temporary.
