As she lifts the veil
Awakening morning’s light
Freedom is given
Her flocks fly hurriedly by
Before darkness reigns again

She lifts
The midnight sky
With a touch of her hand
Allowing the light to shine through
Morning
As the darkest day ends, fleeing
Seeking newer places
To claim its own
She smiles

I know not where it is, I should turn
As thoughts inside, begin to churn
An acid, meant to truly burn
A helpless moment, of which I yearn
*
To cast away, the thoughtless words
From a hateful voice, it’s so absurd
To know that I’m not really heard
My patience, buried, now interred
*
Into hopelessness, I need to fight
To end this horrid, dreadful plight
That I endure, both day and night
For where there seems, no end in sight

A rendezvous, in the ebony night
Nothing is hidden, illuminous sight
She sparkles in his shadow, his smile, a shine
In hopes she will come to him, this beauty, sublime
He beckons to her, she draws herself near
Yet she never quite stops, sailing by, in the clear
Of winter’s dark, she’s a tease in the sky
Moon longs for Venus, but she passes him by
Authors Note: This poem and others like it can be found in my chapbook “Dark is the night“, available in paperback, and coming to Kindle soon!

Full moon child
Light shines
From thine heart
Floating gently
Across the night
We are one
Hand to soul
Grasp the power
Of the light
Hold steadfast
Until the dark
Is done
Watch the light
Flow slowly by
Breathe it in
Nothing between us
Not you nor I
Can ever stop fate
From beginning
Again
Fear not
The light
That covets
Night skies
Bask
In the glory
Of brilliance
Peace
Comes to you
In celestial sigh
We are
The dark’s
Resilience
