The moon now rises from the east,
as stillness drifts through our world,
and heads rest in sleep.
The quiet of the night, comes for us all,
as darkness comes to call.
There are some of us,
who welcome the quiet bliss,
the lovers embraced,
in each other’s arms,
ready to steal a kiss.
The writer who needs,
the evening tranquillity,
to forward on their thoughts,
with nothing to disturb.
So we put the day at rest,
until tomorrow comes to call.

I often wonder about the craftsmenwho worked so hard to build themwithout the aid of our modern technology.How skilled they were with their handswhen you look at the beautyof their ornate decorationsthat make those old building stand out.You sit and ponder nowwhere have all their skills gone.13 May 2008
