A light glows against the night

Outside, but it’s not the moon

A fairy’s wings, perhaps, I see

Tis a sign, all the world is attune

For as the sky falls into a misty pitch

She continues to illuminate, bright

This pixie graces my ink and quill

Always with me, whenever I write

My newest muse, she comforts me

When the thoughts escape my mind

She guides my hand across the page

And once again, the words, I find

Midnight
Darkest hour
No light

Day gone
Fades into black
Moves on

Moon shows
Chases the gloom
And glows

I can almost reach it

The place my heart wanders

Where my soul endlessly flies

In and out of the darkness

Happier to hide in the craters

And follow the shadows, then

Watch the sun creep up, as it

Illuminates that famous face

While I, content to remain here

On the dark side, where no one

Can see me, as I dodge the light

Allows me to become a shadow

Blending in with your surface

Feeding off your moon beams

Reflecting, with the stars, gathering

Dreams, listening to my heart and

Realizing, I never wish to go home.

A weary traveler followed the light
Down this road he had walked for miles
How can the sun arise in the night?
Still the orb, up ahead, did beguile

Eerie clouds hovered around, in the air
Formed circles, in an ominous mist
He stopped to shade his eyes from the glare
Watched, as the dark and light coexist

Bewildered by what he was seeing
He must try to decide, should he go
Or turn back, he’d be perceived as fleeing
What that would mean, he didn’t know

The light in the sky had entranced him
He must continue on the path ahead
Lest this be perceived as only a whim
So, further down, alone, he did tread

Stopped again, by this big old tree
It was one he’d never seen there before
It glowed in the night, with stars, carefree
Twas then, he couldn’t take anymore

He picked up his pace for a moment
Tried to hurry, to reach the hillside
On the last of this journey, a bestowment
With the moon, he’d now safely abide
