Notes About The Poem

Love

Night Pays No Attention

Night pays no attention 
to love’s secret meetings~
a flowering bower
and ecstasy when two
hearts find one another. 

Night pays no attention 
to the ache of parting,
to tears overwhelming,
of hearts piecemeal breaking,
to loneliness swelling . 

Night pays no attention 
to day’s sudden dawning~
the night will rise again
to loneliness swelling
in life’s foolish fast lane.
