I Get Lost In the Night

sometimes i lose myself in the obstinacy of night beyond the umbrage of shadows that fall within its tenebrous self 'tis there death dances spinning around wayward souls tempting them to follow into depths unknown i feel the strength of fingers hold beyond turned wrists pressing firm within the brawn as shallow breath exhales stale air i see its face from clouded moon reach out to me dubious that i will fall silent within the rise of bloodied skies that morning brings i feel the mist of its breath fall upon me like night's fog as it beads atop my brow i succumb to thoughts within restless mind sprawl my ink upon the sheets of paper-white and write again within the darkness that night unfolds july 13, 2019

I will have to agree with Francesca below, never disappointing. I will have to agree with everyone else below, this was fantastic, beautifully crafted and so very creative.

Thank you Rick, it's been awhile since my muse was inspired...next week I travel to Montana and will be without signal for several days, but hoping the trip gives her even more inspiration upon our return.... hugs :)
