Calm Quiet



So calm the night breeze
Sinking it's way into every pore, freezed
Spreading the scent of the foliage to the east,
It lulls even the trolls in the trees to sleep
Perhaps it soothes the distress of the wolves in the woods too;
I've hardly heard one howl from the groove.

The sound of the insects
The tune of their nocturnal note,
Fine tuned by the harmony of the Anura by rote
Croaking from the lake far by,
It serenades the calm quiet of the night.

The moon must be lonely
Shining all alone through the mist,
I count myself lucky
Having you lie with me here in the field,
But before her jealousy starts
Let's pull the blanket over us and watch the stars.

Tiny stars shining bright
Like diamonds reflecting sunlight
One looking as much as another;
We must count as much as we need
To pay our wishes redeem.

Look, the horizon
It feels there lieth all the joy in the world,
Let's climb up there on a ladder
And be happy ever after.

Let's travel round the moon in a chariot ride
Drawn by a thousand butterfly
And when round it we've circled
We shall pitch our tent in the middle
And rest for the night.
