The silence of the park
seizes the hour of dusk,
where majestic snow-capped mountains
adjoin the skies of midnight blue,
a halo of light encircles the
quiescent scene illuminating
a child\'s red jacket left behind
on the end of the slide,
the playground is the sanctuary
of the childhood beginning and ending,
it is where laughing and yelling are
allowed to be especially at midnight
when the spirits of frolicsome adventure
overtake the child in all of us.
