Sweet night

Today's prompt is to take inspiration from the nocturne: a melancholy, but light piece of music...


Sweet night

Sweet night, why are you silent?
The wind neither blows, nor rustles
The leaves above me;

The clear sky
Tells of everything but emptiness,
Yet, sweet night, you are still

No birds, or crickets sing,
No water trickles in the stream;
All, sweet night, is quiet

Sweet night, why are you silent?
 You remind me of my loneliness,
Of the thoughtful silence inside me.
