Graceful Night
A graceful sky slips soft in night,
pools of sunset cascade in streams.
Our skin desires moon’s golden light;
we long to dip in endless beams.
I sweep life’s dust from my front stoop
as dusk releases flow of tears.
How brilliant! Night paints starlit loops
to free me from dawn's coming fears.
Come fly with me away from day’s
torrential rays of harshest sun.
Come dance with me as music plays;
in graceful night, we’ll move as one.
I often watch the children’s games
on sunny streets of afternoon,
and dream of our eyes without shame
twinkling in starry night and moon.
Ribbons of love spiral through skies.
as our bare hands hang constellations,
then cling to night with stars' replies
of joyous hearts and adoration.
