While city lights begin to dim,

And slumber claims the avenue

A different disposition is developed

In rooms where quiet dreams are difficult to come by

The world assumes a gentle peace

Meanwhile, a hush descends, this avenue is at wake

Even in the stillness 

The Nocturnals’ souls are invigorated with vitality

Creating an ambiance of gentle hums before the music plays

In realms of thought, they find their solace

And challenge common practices

Avoiding the greed 

Defying notions of social needs

They compensate what is bereft by other means

The serenity of the night

Is a sanctuary, pure and bright

It transforms into a canvas where their souls have limitless expressions

Believe it or not 

These solitary spirits are content 

Let the world assume they’re asleep

As they search and discover new things about themselves

Aspiring to reach a connection through self-reflection

That is deep and true

These introverts embrace their nocturnal vigil 

And find strength in solitude

  1. I love your poetry, and I love the premise of someone appreciating solace. Too often we forget to take time to be alone with our thoughts. I live in the Ozark Mtns. and cherish nights listening to the sounds of nature from the crickets chirping to the coyotes wild yapping during mating season.
