Nocturnal

The sky is awake.

The stars giggling and winking,

Flirting with each other

And teasing the rest.

The ocean is awake.

Waving up to the stars;

Jumping higher and higher to try

And join in their teasing.

The forest is awake.

Whispering secrets and gossip.

Ignoring the waters’ jumps

And the stars’ giggles.

I am awake.

Catching the sky’s winks,

The ocean’s waves,

And the trees’ whispers.

While the world sleeps,

The world is awake.
