Midnight Haven
Awakened earth
by Joanne Troppello
She lies on the cool grass
soaking up the moisture
of the evening.
An earth she has taken
for granted comes alive
this night.
In the trees, chirping
crickets, pesky bugs,
and gentle wind.
A sigh escapes her lips.
She relaxes in her
midnight haven.
Just as heavy eyelids
start to drop, a
shooting star makes
a new path across
the darkness.
