Grows the Night


     Grows the night as moonlit waves swivel 
   to unravel submerged mysteries,
 dark fears uncurl into sapphire hopes,
   lustrous divine chandelier on pier.
     Grows the night to unveil moist layer
  of echoed enchanting fog of faith,
  flaming muse scintillates pearls of love,
    with musk-soaked lullabies grows the night
