In Awe of Night

A verdant night consumes my eyes, beyond is a light in blackened skies portals opened the unseen seen, shooting comets develop a dream A violin cries of the deepest dark, winging my heart sound found its mark now in the darkness my apron of sorrow, is thrown on the ground draped into tomorrow I cant my face up to the moon, filling my heart it vibrates to croon trees of the shade move without form, grass is curling this isn’t the norm A lonely sparrow rests on a pole, through his eyes I see pure soul flickering leaves move on the ground, the air caresses as it swirls around my drying mouth moves without word, lips start to speak but nothing is heard this magical eve wrapped into my gaze, and through my tears is a beautiful haze night watchers at peace are reclining on stars, they are resting their feet on the front steps of Mars I close my eyes to this spectacular sight, and relaxing my body I fade out to white
