To the Night

Wrapped in the calming dark of eve....
Rapt by the limitless twinkling of stars....
The crowd, noise, and light of the city far away!

But in this remoteness I am struck by the busy vastness of space....
Are we alone, how could we be alone, where does space end????

Quiet amazement realigns and settles my mind....
Connection, Calm, and Comfort resides in the dark wooded night...
Yet night in the woods also removes the mundane and the loon's cry cues my awakening
Dark and wild my senses awaken to the purer, more honest, and the... "in this moment" primitive me....
To the night I come to refresh, regress….. reconnect!
