Tonight

So I'm sitting on the roof tonight. Its been twenty mins since the date changed. The moon is so bright that I can almost feel the rays on me. And I can't help but hear the sounds of the night.

The barks of a thousand dogs. The chirping of the crickets. The whizz of the far away automobile. The cry of a bird who seems to have had a bad dream. The flapping of the wings of the bat that just flew overhead. The buzz of the mosquito near my ear. The sound of my fingers scratching the mosquito bite on my ankle. The cool gentle breeze across my face. The rustling of leaves of the tree close by. My breath as I sigh and the thoughts in my head as I write.

These are the sounds tonight.
Take care.
