Mystery

evening has
              come
      the garish glare of city lights has
                faded 
      night winds 
blow - yet in the shadows
  a flicker of light
   leaves us to wonder
While the stars shine  above
       Shall we doubt the love
                 of the universe?
               which reaches out to 
us
   the mystery has left us guessing
A short interruption 
     in the cosmic game
perhaps that is all we are
we wish to be free from sorrow and pain
and await the healing touch of sweet rain
       Let the night pass
 After the moon has
       disappeared behind clouds
We will let 
       out a sigh
Try to forget why
We will let out a sigh
and contiune(as the poet said) playing the game
on the checkerboard
             of nights and days
