The Night Sky

Under the cover of darkness I will show you the way It’s a lesson I will teach you blind It’s a sequence that you will learn and never forget To keep my promise I will wrap you in my cloak all night! I will help you escape the chaos that consumes you And cherish you from dusk to dawn Wandering with you on a path to fill that void I am the night that engulfs you, a roof to your home! And at dusk, your command I will abide You can hear me in those dark overtones Whispers of shadows as they speak I am the coal that waits to burn in your eyes! I will hold all of your secrets, wrapped up In sparking stars tonight I will twinkle and wait for you to decide When you remove those blinds At dawn and let in the light! 27.2.22 Contest: The Night Sky Sponsor: Anna Marie Kaianah
