The goodness of God is infinitely more wonderful than we will ever be able to comprehend


The midnight moon whispers softly 

As it rises above the clouds who shadow it 

The sun curses the night as it falls

But the night sings with joy when it is gone

Little frogs and crickets dance with fireflies

Owls and bats fly around like as in a dream

The wolf commands creatures on the ground and howls

And the thieves, a racoon and rat, steal and loot from others

All while we look out from our homes,

Wondering what sounds the night makes

But we do never dare venture out to discover

The wonderful sounds of a new world 

For it is like a symphony of natural sounds 

A symphony that can put one to sleep and make them stay asleep

And when we fall into a deep, dark endless chasm of thoughts which we call rest 

The nights draws closer to us while we lay

And peacefully says:

Goodnight


The author's comments:

I was inspired to wright this piece because of all the noises I hear at night. I live in a marsh area, and all of the sounds remind me of a symphony. I was originally just checking off the boxes for a school project, but I started to get really into it. This is one of my first works, so I hope you enjoy "The Midnight Song."
