It's a quiet night

It’s a quiet night 

The moon is rising to the east as the sun sets in the west

The kids get tucked in bed 

The birds settle in their nest 

It’s a lovely night

The smell of sap, mud and wood fill the air, 

signaling the change of a season is near 

It’s a peaceful night 

I walk slowly as my dog sniffs happily on the neighbors tree

It’s a gentle night

A man walks by with his dog.

He smiles and says “ what a nice night”. I reply: “indeed, what a pleasant night”. 

It’s a magical night

I pause as I reach my favorite pine trees and look up to see

Stars emerging through the darkness, dotting the sky with light 

What a sight

It’s a simple night 

Tugging impatiently, my dog signals he wants to pee on that tree

I sign and smile at him lovingly 

And continue on our journey
