The Coyotes Song

Nightfall.
Stars show their light
and dot the sky
with pieces of the heavens
seen by naked eye.

The moon rises,
with feathery white wisps
that frame it's face.
Peeking in and out
light shines on the open space.

High above
voices lift
in an ancient song
as coyotes bring
music to
a future dawn.

Long howls
so mournful a tune
are accompanied
with youthful yips
of pups who try
to howl at the moon.
