Night

Come and wrap your dusky arms around me.
Pull the coverlet of darkness
slowly around this world.
Allow the serenity that escapes
me in the light of day to live.
Let me rest my head
on your pillow of peacefulness.
Lay quiet the day
still rampant in my mind.
Embrace me with your presence,
and quietly hold me
until morning's first light forces
you into the darkest shadows of daylight.
You will be with me in the shadows,
reclusively living out the hours
until once again
you gather your tranquil forces
and gently assault my world
with peaceful reveries of solitude.
You are comforting,
darkness....
safely offering me the visions
not seen in the brightness of day.
