    night

    The rythmic breathing of the night
    Ebbs and flows in tune like a well known melody.
    Muted bells ring in the distance.
    A lowing of a woman birthing her child,
    The life-bringing wail of her baby
    Pierces the darkness and brings light into the night.

    As a woman who just gave birth just after midnight, a week & a half ago, I like this! Especially the part about bringing light into the night!

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
