The sky is a sparkling gemstone,1
As around me night will cloak,2
The wind is a rushing waterfall,3
Tossing my hair does stroke,4
Beneath me I feel the grass,5
As cool and soft as light,6
Above me shines the glistening moon,7
Near perfect pearly white,8
Beside it speckles stars,9
So perfected and so pure,10
I draw a breath of cold night air,11
To me it’s like a cure,12
The surface of the pond stirs,13
A ripple moves away,14
A fish has come to the surface,15
To search for light of day,16
But night is long and fresh and cool,17
A breath the world might draw,18
Before the breaking of a morn,19
A light near insecure,20
The leaves all rattle softly,21
Upon the stony walk,22
The night around me rustles,23
As the world begins to talk,24
A different tongue to that of day,25
One quite new and strange,26
More hushed and softly secreted,27
With far more dip and change,28
The stones are cold by my fingertips,29
At rest in velvet grass,30
I gaze around in wonder,31
Wishing it could last,32
The sun will rise,33
Touch the sky out in the east,34
And I must go,35
After dawn at least,36
For now I’m staying here,37
The night upon my cheeks,38
Dew damp within my hair,39
As the night wells up and speaks,40
It’s beauty is dark but strong and sure,41
A world of coal and milk,42
Shadows dark, and stars so white,43
Touched with light like silk.44
And so I close my eyes to rest,45
Lay my head back on the ground,46
As the wind ruffles through my clothes,47
And the night lives and breathes all around.

I have no idea if this is any good... I just selected a poem from many of the ones I have in stock. It is old, but it's always been one I liked so... let's see what other people think. All comments appreciated.

This is a really choice poem. I loved the imagery you used of nature and the spirituality and beauty of the night: it lays hidden underneath the words. But the initial beauty of this poem shines through: like the stars in the sky

It was different. Something sparkling: with an array of hidden meanings and meanings one could interperate on their own accord.
I likes it- it was fresh- vibrant.
