BLACK TRANQUILITY

BLACK TRANQUILITY 
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The black sky is tranquil, dotted with a thousand stars, inviting rest and calm. It offers a rewards of sorts:  a peaceful night that soothes the mind and soul.

darkness is a friend
wraps me in its gentle fold
whispers "all is well"

night is full of peace
the world's chaos fades away
my soul finds its rest

"night is full of peace the world's chaos fades away my soul finds its rest" Though darkness we hate, think of a day without a night! The rest and relaxation, a peaceful night give us is beautifully celebrated in your poem, dear Sara. I love your haibuns.

Sensational, has a very subtle captivating mood of comfort, not always identifiable with darkness. I prefer the darkness over the day-light, but we are built of both dark & light.

Interesting, Sara. I often feel that way about the night and about darkness, that it's peaceful and soothing...but there are exceptions where the night is just the opposite.
