Night's Calling

The night

though it called with darkness

blotted and blurred away

all that scared me.

And dawn

made me scared,

made me worried,

I did not want day.

For the stars

satisfied me

and the moon’s shine

engulfed me.

Night eternal

must seem boring,

forever

much too long.

But always

darkness falling,

neon lights

and bright street lamps.

White mist

on pitch black

lake, the chirping

of the grasshoppers.

The canoe

making ripples.

Destroying peacefulness,

cutting edge.

Goodbye

morning light,

don’t wish to

see you.

I’ll stay in darkness.
