In the dark of the night
a lonely tree is watching
lights in the windows
like no other night
in the last four years.
In other places still dark
cold and no lights at all
like at no other time
in the recent memory.
But all over the country
people still up waiting
hoping, fearing, anticipating
the fruits of their voice
once in four years.
In the dark of the night
a lonely tree is watching
enjoying the peace
always available to everyone.

cool pic Tiny. And well fitting words for today. 🙂
Thanks Jackie. Hope you have a 2K word day today 🙂
awww thank you my friend, I will be starting my writing soon.
Amen. You have an amazing way of merging nature, beauty, and harsh reality. Watching with an impatient 15 year old is too stressful!
Thanks! Watching your city and state right now…my hubby will not be up much longer so it’ll be me and little Bumble for the next couple of hours!
Beautiful words, beautiful photo – love the processing!
Thank you – yes, I worked a bit on that one!
