Into the Night

what does it mean? To some I suppose the mysterious and adventurous and some only embrace the dark evil hidden within them, becoming the fearful place to execute bad dreams but for me a place of peacefulness. Where the stars twinkle, a melody of an ancient and forgotten song, never heard but always understood, while the rushing and noisy world slows and becomes silent for a moment. shadows silhouettes let it not be the darkness nighttide’s interlude

Hi John: Please consider me a new fan of yours and of Haibun. I have tried to decipher many of them but this great how you make the night evoke images and time. My deepest compliments!
