A magnificent oak tree stands center in a park
Waiting with quiet majesty in the solitary dark
The blackness of night only adds to the scene
Bringing tranquility and peace, free and clean
Trees with fruit blossoms, in full view even at night
Sending forth a fragrance, invigorating and right
Tiny green leaves are growing out on the tall trees
Waving from a gentle breath of the wind with ease
In the distance, glowing lights enhance a background
Providing a reverent atmosphere without any sound
A bit of shining moonlight fashions extra to see
Moving and playful shadows amongst the trees
Even at night, God’s creation sparkles all new
Painting for each evening, a breathtaking view
The eastern light rises to create the dawn
Crooning birds welcome a newborn fawn
The stillness begins to wake-up from its rest
Leaving its nocturnal beauty, always the best!
