The Night

The Night, what a secretive creature
Dark,
Mysterious,
Eerie,
Each a tantalizing feature

It crawls in, from behind
Like shadow,
Like ghost,
Like intruder,
Throws cover and makes blind

Though creepy, it fascinates
With spiders,
With scorpions,
With serpents,
Resurrects and animates

The firmament, covered with chandeliers
Radiant,
Aflame,
Aglow,
Startlingly each appears

The desert dwellers, I envy
Favored,
Blessed,
Fortunate,
For the starry Night, they see
