35
Sofia Lazzaro
SUMMER NIGHT The sun is setting in the west Taking the hard heat of summer with it Leaving me in the cool night Looking up into the clear night time sky Dark as a raven’s feathers Stars like souls of loved ones Looking down on me Nothing but the song of crickets Playing long into the night And wind blowing through the willow tree If only the entire world could be at peace Just as much as I am this very moment
