Night at the Compost Heap

Underneath the moonlit sky, hidden worlds come alive

Creek and whisper, all around, creatures start to thrive

In the shadow’s gentle glow, a pile of compost hums and stirs

Nighttime symphony unfolds, in its depths the life concurs

Igel, mice scurry near, marder, fox in silent dance

Nature’s secrets reappear, in the darkness’ fleeting trance

Watching them in quiet awe, shadows playing in the night

Every movement, every paw, a beautiful, fleeting sight

Come alive in the night, under the starry light

Komposthaufen’s story, a wild, gentle glory

Laugh and watch the dance, in this midnight trance

Joy in nature’s call, the greatest show of all

Through the branches, hear their calls, in the hush of midnight hours

Nature’s grandest festival, in these quiet, slender towers

As dawn begins to break, they retreat into the gloom

But tonight’s memories will take, a bloom within the room
