Evening Walk

Date: 05.09.2007
Time: 7:25 p.m.

Silent is the walk down a familiar old lane
That has been traversed many times before,
Watching the mud and pebbles
Breathing in the fragrance of cleansed earth,
Bearing a purpose in mind.

Dark is the sky still caressed by loving clouds
That have been gathering and grieving all day,
Revealed by a sudden flash of lightning
Illuminating the stars playing hide and seek,
Shadowed for now.

Pleasant is the stroll in the cool evening air
That carries those soft footsteps moving calmly,
Taking in the serenity that the night offers
Content with the soothing solitude
Unperturbed by restless sounds.

End: 7:37 p.m.

And this.

"Revealed by a sudden flash of lightning
Illuminating the stars playing hide and seek,"

I don't know why this unscientific line appealed to me...
