Songs of Night
Restless voice
on summer nights
start with a whisper
and gradually spill over
into the darkness.
I am captivated
by each distinct melody,
the rich resonance
of their voices
lift my spirit
higher and higher
until at last
I am floating
with each sound,
drifting closer
to where they’ve gathered
to render
their compelling melodies.
