A lantern is no longer lit
Near this cell, where I must sit

Darkness plagues my every day
Yet in this narrow space I stay

Golden skies, in this empty place
Soar across, in an endless race

Yet, I cannot see them with my eyes
I see them in my mind and try

To recreate a land once cherished
Where land and trees forever flourished

And flora once did overwhelm
When I was ruler of this realm

jetty-593401_960_720Sunset beckons the tides to roll

Drawing you deeper into your soul

Reaching beyond the calling of day

Taking you farther and farther away

As nighttime descends upon oceans of blue

Covering waters with darkness anew

You slip past the shadows of ebony night

Awaiting the comfort of morning’s first light

I could stay up for hours

Continue to write

But the candlelight dims

Above the pages, once white

Welcoming darkness, shadows in the room

Tell me it’s time

To put down my plume

Let the ink dry

In the still of the night

Til once again I return

With morning’s fire light

Swirls of color illuminate night

Moonrise watches, with radiant light

Brightens the darkness that covers the sky

Reaches beyond mystical reasons why

I wish I could be up there on a cloud

And yell at the top of my voice, out loud

How beautiful it is, here in space

What it’s like to live, among lunar grace

Surrounded by Heaven’s ethereal glow

As it shines down upon the Earth below

Like clouds floating by, she is windswept

With the flowing air, her dreams well kept

Tranquil waters, soothing, a balm

Bringing her peace of mind, a calm

That joins together, as the night does fall

And nestles her, like a comforting shawl

Gathering thoughts, of life and love

Watching as darkness covers above

Still, over her shoulder she gazes afar

Wondering where her dreams really are
