Late Night Musing

Throughout my life
I have listened to the night
          as it spread
it's black wings around me
I have known the darkness
       and it still speaks 
to me when moonlight appears
     Walking the shadowed streets
I have heard the rhythms 
     of the asphalt homeland
Streetlamps cast a ghostly glow
   A pedestrian passes by
His footsteps echoing in 
    the cool autumn air
  These images will fade when
the garish sun appears
    But for now.....
