MIDNIGHT CONVERSATIONS

I am in love with everything the world has got to offer me The way the wind swiftly moves through branches of trees On a chilly autumn day Creating artworks on forest floors for all to see

I enjoy those little things which don’t really seem like much at first The way waves softly crash on beaches During a breezy summer night Singing quiet melodies for all who want to hear

And a million other tiny happenings Too much to recall them all The way that sunlight shimmers and breaks through canopy Birds chirping, indicating the start of spring

Sometimes we forget that time will pass But moments like these are everlasting The joy they bring The love we find along the way It will leave its mark until the end of days
