Nocturne
the days are getting shorter
that means longer nights
thank God!
I don't like waiting until nine pm
to get a fix of night-time impulses
the night
my place
my natural habitat
an odd vitality arises
with the star spangled sky
maybe it's the incongruous lighting
of street lamps, neon,
and stellar speckles
exciting my optics into perceiving
quirky, impressionistic art scenes
in shadows and beams
never quite revealing all
and always leaving a small mystery
to ponder
anyway,
I am more comfortable
at night
most alive
at night
and I too become a small mystery
as I dissapate
into a nocturne
on the dreamy side of the twilights

Hi Rosi
I'm glad you are still around...I keep coming back myself...I must like it , although the pace seems to have slowed down during the past few months (poets leaving, fewer posts, fewer comments etc.). still, here we are!
thanks for "keeping the faith" via your posts and comments. I always say I'll try harder to reciprocate by corresponding more with you and others... maybe someday I'll become more "talkative"....don't hold your breath though...I am pretty much set in my ways, so please bear with me on this issue
thanks for the spelling correction and thoughts
fondly,
Al
