Of a Summer Night

Of a Summer Night

entrancing be this rhythmic sounding
the night in its captivating calls
crickets in mystical orchestration
the air still and alluringly warm
seductive be this darkened vista
bewitching light of the brilliant moon
corona of jeweled tones luminous
this the rapture of a summer night.
