I Don'T Like the Night

I don’t like the night It is deceiving With its stars hung loose At rising height And its moon pale Shaded languid white I don’t like the night It is deceiving Provoking my emotions to play On its strings of might Silence in place And solitude in sight I don’t like the night It is deceiving With a sense of sorrow And a feeling of fright Running chills through me In cunning delight I don’t like the night It is deceiving Calling me forward With its allure to incite Beguiled in marvel I stay awake tonight

You don't have to like the night, young one, I say just sleep through it! In a more serious vein, I quite understand why many, including you and me, sometimes detest the night. With the stillness and darkness that the night brings, indeed it's that part of day when all our demons seem to come out and torment us from which there is no escape except sleep, if we are lucky. Not so during daylight when our jobs make us preoccupied to momentarily forget our tribulations. Nice write, Farah. Fred
