The Night Mysteries
by Jill Bergman

The sun went down below the edge of the world. All that are left in the dark are the mysteries.

The mystery of twinkling stars, and coyote howls, and the question of what fish dream about in their river.

The mystery of migrating butterflies, and where the birds sleep, and how campfire can warm your heart.

The mystery of why rain smells like earth, and mountains vanished in the dark, and how the world keeps turning.

The mystery of what happened here in the past, and why we can’t see the future, and  what is unfolding out there in the Milky Way.

The moon dips down to the edge of the world. We snuggle into sleep, the only way to solve the night mysteries.
