All is right

When the stealthy seconds slip slowly by

On a chillingly calm and lonesome night

And a knowing , friendly star

Winks at me to quell my fears

When the breeze heaves a silent sigh

And fireflies trace a flickering flight

When a nightbird tweets from afar

And another replies from somewhere near

When the meadows echo an infant’s cry

And a mother croons somewhere out of sight

When the clouds conspire to crawl up and mar

The moonlit sky , so bright and clear

Then it is that my dreams refuse to die

And Beauty stalls the Winter’s blight

The lingering pain from old scars

Dissolve in the silence and all is right.
