Southern Night by ~draco13:icondraco13:



The silvery moon shines overhead
while I lie in my hammock,
the sticky heat of the day just now abating.

The frogs sing from the quicksilver pond
while a spring gurgles in harmony.
My eyes droop.

Fireflies blink in and out of existence,
silent conductors of their own symphonies.
The stars are coming out.

Crickets hum quietly and cicadas add their tune,
forever blending into the night.
My head feels heavy.

The magnolia leaves rustle
as a soft breeze stirs,
a heralding of dusk.

My eyes close.
The hammock sways in time
to the music of the southern night.

Although I now live in Washington, I used to live in Georgia a few years ago. This was written actually as a LA assignment a while back (meaning November) but it reminds me of where I used to live, where I grew up, and my home. Almost everyone who has read this--including me--has said it had a calming effect after they read it. I hope it stays that way.
