Darkness falls


Darkness falls…

The cries of night wolves and wild dogs
Rent the air far away, deep in the forest.
The wind grew milder, the moonlight brighter,
And sweet lullabies rang out from homes.
A tradition the little ones adore.
The evening simmered into deep darkness
As African tales went on at bedsides.

So went the day in this quiet hamlet.
