Silence of the Night

Sharon A. Long

A full moon
is setting the night
into an all familiar
glare
scattered stars
appearing vaguely
leaving the night
still and bare
careless whispering
between the trees
and the soft winds
the silence of the night
gives off their
whimsical tunes
as they befriend
I seep within
the darkness
of my mind
opening to all
its familiar tones
the silence of the night
conveys to me
that I will always
be alone

Sharon A. Long

My name is Sharon and I would like to state first that I do not consider myself a professional writer, I just write from the heart. I am single and never been married. I have two children, a boy and girl both grown. I reside in North Carolina where I was born but raised in Philadelphia since the age of three years old. I work as a Dietary Supervisor here in North Carolina at Nash Health Center. I love to write and read as well as listen to all types of music. I hope one day I can publish my poetry and short stories. I dream to become a Author even if it is to own one book as mine and my family's keepsake. more…
