Come Share My Night

Come share my night for it is you that ignites my soul, let not a ray of Sun impede the covered windows there For it is the darkness I have learned to love, only the stars and the Moon may enter here Leaving the many shadowed silhouettes dancing on the walls like so many embers flying upward as if they were fingers grasping ever higher with there own hidden purpose Everything seems perfect now somehow the imperfections of the day are lost in the deep dark coolness of the night Crying can be heard but not seen Portraits are there but only traces may be noticed Even the crystal prisms colorless by day take on an array of amber hues as the evening breeze brushes against them The fireplace mirrored in the crystals explode with vibrant color that reaches out from the darkness with welcomed emotion Here in this darkened velvet place I am young again, there is no sadness written on my face What was is now gone and I become a part of the ritual of the night bathed only in star light

Thanks for your comment, Sharon. I'm sorry you've experienced this loss too. But as for the lighting, stepping back a few more inches from the mirror each year helps too! LOL

"Crying can be heard but not seen," such a powerful statement about people who choose to live in the shadows of darkness. Truly a moving poem. If you don't mind a bit of humor, I look younger too when I change the lightbulbs and replace them with lower wattage. Love and blessings, Carolyn
