Nocturnal Saunter

Evening murmurs quietness, 
Quietness reflects fright,
Fright stoops the soul,
 
Soul needs bright, 
Bright evaporates the shadow,
Shadow cracks night.

Night brings trouble, 
Trouble creates discomfort, 
Discomfort nurtures the darkness, 

Darkness embeds courage, 
Courage expects for morning, 
Morning kills night.

Night shows the scuffle, 
Scuffle breeds power,
 Power lifts the drained, 

Drained discovers dawn, 
Dawn pinnacles the voyage,
Voyage leaves nightfall.
