Late night thoughts

Trees dark against the late evening sky
The sky itself being a wonder of evening light
The air is still, no wind cares to disturb it
Leaving the trees to be still in their vigil
Over to the south, the moon watches over them
Low on the horizon, yellow and almost round
It kisses the tip of the branches of a lucky tree
I am at home in the summer evening’s air and light
As always joyful that it invites me in
Knowing that while I’m there and happy that I am
I will feel a sting of longing for that other place
I don’t know where it is or when
Whether that place is one of space or time
Or a special place at a particular time
And yet it almost always hovers at the edge of my conscience
Beckoning or maybe just quietly whispering about its delights
I know that I may never know more about it
Than what was hinted on a few summer nights long ago
It was like a waft of perfume in the air
And I could have tried to follow the fragrant trail
Let myself be led towards it and, maybe, have stayed there ever since
But the shimmering vista remained distant
And other summer scents and sounds were nearer
And held me and kept me with them
Now I am where I am
And as I lie down in the darkness, listening to summer sounds
And smelling the perfumes of this tranquil summer night
I know that I may never find that place
And that if I shouldn't
Then this place msut be that place
And so I am truly at the best of all places
With that thought on my mind
I smile as gently as the summer night air stirs
And I fall asleep
