You disappeared, out of sight
Swallowed by the darkened sky
A sliver, you couldn’t hold your ground
Even Venus, with her brilliance
Was no match for the storm
On this clouded summer night
Author’s Note: I was able to catch a glimpse of the young moon and Venus, until the storm clouds took over, and they disappeared into the night.

Dedicated to all who suffer from anxiety and panic attacks. I feel your pain…
My body shivers, at times, it quakes
Hour upon hour, never ending
I think, this must be a grave mistake
And life plays its game, quite offending
I try to be calm, breath in and out
But nothing is working for me
All I really want to do is to shout
Allowing the darkness to break free
But the darkness is my only hope
It comforts me, right to my core
Helping me find the right way to cope
When I’m wondering, what it’s all for

I could hear the pounding of your heartbeat
Like the pouring of the rain against this old house
Every inch, creaking, from the weight of the world
On shoulders that held more than they should
Taken in stride, as if this was your lot in this life
Never a complaint, you just went about your day
And night couldn’t come soon enough for you
Tired and weary, you had fallen fast asleep
Before I even had the chance to say thank you
For making my world a much better place to live
And this I know, as time passes, and days fade
You will always be the light that guides me
Shining within me, through my own darkest hours

She serenades the sun to sleep
With a lullaby, from her strings
Her music floats, into the air
Takes flight, on angel’s wings
It floats among the heavens
On the tails, of passing clouds
As sunlight fades into the night
She is blanketed, with a shroud
Of darkness, it settles over her
Yet, she continues to play her song
Knowing soon the moon will rise
Tis who she plays for, all along

Night appears and chases day
Stands to watch the starlight play
Noticing one that outshines the rest
Reflecting, a glow, upon her chest
Wraps her in stardust, ever true
She watches, as mountains fade from view
No longer does the sun remain
Darkness, once again, shall reign
As she blends in with the midnight sky
And stars gently twinkle, before they die
For she is the one who chased away light
Beauty now gone, from her blinded sight
Once she was a beacon, to shine the way
Now, in the dark, filled with dismay
Hoping one day, she will shine, again
She can only wait, for she knows not when
