In the hazy glow of a wine-filled night
I lay in a drowse, lost in the sea of my thoughts
Unaware of the fallen petals in my lap
So delicately placed by the gentle breeze
As I rose, still under the intoxicating spell
I noticed the absence of the chirping birds
And the dwindling numbers of my fellow revellers
The night air was cool against my flushed skin
Alone, I ventured along the moonlit river
The water glistened like a pathway of silver
Reflecting the celestial light above
I could hear the soft whispers of the breeze
The world around me was a masterpiece
A symphony of night creatures in harmony
I felt the solitude embrace my soul
As I walked, my mind clearer than before
In the tranquil embrace of the moonlight
I found a sense of peace and quiet reflection
The night was my companion, a silent confidant
And I was content in my solitude, at ease with myself
As the night waned on, the world seemed to awaken
The early morning light pierced through the darkness
And I made my way back to the wine party
A new sense of clarity and calm guiding me home. (\"Intoxicating Spell\") by Courtney Weaver Jr.
