“Though my soul may set in darkness, it will rise in perfect light; I have loved the stars too fondly to be fearful of the night.” ― Sarah Williams, Twilight Hours: A Legacy of Verse

I’m so excited to share the cover of my first chapbook, due out May 1 (God willing)! It is a photograph of the moon I took last year and fit the theme perfectly.
Back Cover: “Rendezvous with the moon, drift among the stars and find yourself lost in the night skies. Author Dorinda Duclos, takes you on a journey through the night, visualizing dreams that let you become one with the universe. From ebony night and darkened shadows, to full moon light that reveals all, til morning breaks and the night slumbers, this is a poetry chapbook for all sky watchers!”
Without further ado, here it is! I would love to know what you think of it!!
This book will only be released in paperback.

I am weary
Growing tired of the day
Awaiting, the night
Longing
For darkness, the Milky Way
My mind, emptying
Of daily matters
Weighing on my heart
My thoughts, scatter
And yet, I am alive
Wishing on the stars
Gathering the light
It awakens me
Ebony splendor
Surrounding my soul
Taking me places
Tis where I am whole

Restless, like a wandering sprite
On a journey once found in a dream
Searching for an endless mysterious sight
Cast through the sky like a stream
Of magical orbs that shine in my eyes
Perhaps they’re the answers I seek
Or are they merely a quixotic guise
The power behind the mystique
Ever looking for resplendent glory
While wrestling with the ebony night
Hoping to find an end to this story
I awaken with morning’s first light

In the whispers of the clouds
And the twinkling of the stars
In the darkness of the night
Beneath the shining of the moon
You heard my voice sing
In quiet prayer I called to you
And you answered me
With the rising of the sun
