Night Shade

I live in the mountains of Star Dust. I control all of the seas. I am around every corner. I am surrounded by trees. See me fade into shadow. See me rearrange the stars. Watch me sparkle in heaven. Watch me become part of it all. Down Under caverns. Developed in dreams. I am the night. I am the shadow. I am nothing as it seems. Now I run through the tall grass. Now I run with my eyes. All that gazes wide open, Becomes part of the skies. Bring me to Night Shade. Bring me to life. Give me a heart beat to guide with. Give me seclusion in the night. Shadowed by star light. Enclosed by celestial seas. Far from my own emptiness. Far from my own means. I live in the mountains of Star Dust. I can control all of the seas. I am found around every corner. I keep surrounded by trees. See me fade into the shadow. See me rearrange the stars. Give me a heart beat to guide with. Give me shelter under it all. Down beneath misty caverns. Developed only by dreams. I am the darkest of Night. I am the smoothest of shadow. I am nothing as it seems.

Awe-inspired! I read again and again. Each line as embossed in gold, repetition of phrase delights, and I am nothing as it seems. But, you dear lady are an artist with great talent. Mac
