"Sunset in the Yosemite Valley" by Albert Bierstadt‘A Lifetime’ and Other Poetry by Ann Christine Tabaka The Society July 31, 2017 Beauty, Poetry 8 Comments A Lifetime Day drifts into evening Evening into night All around me darkness With only stars for light Dawn awakes the morning The morning burst into day The cycle never ceasing Black to white to gray The rhythms of each moment The seasons of each year Time goes on forever Never long enough, we fear The Night Beckons The moon is high My worries deep The night is alive And I cannot sleep There are many thoughts Running through my head There are many images Dancing around my bed Sounds of the night Are loud and clear The screeching owl Does draw me near I must get up Get out of bed I go outside To walk instead The fire flies Do flicker bright Indeed it is A glorious sight I wander through The darkened night It clears my mind I feel delight So back to bed I do go This time to sleep My dreams in tow Born in Wilmington Delaware in the early 1950’s, Ann Christine Tabaka has been writing poems and rhymes since her Junior High years. She lives with her husband and two cats and was a Fine Arts Major in college.
