The Night

The night
    holds secrets kept
    in dark and silent shrouds,
each escaping the light
    of morning sun
    to lay still and quiet
unseen, untouched in shaded visions
    of deaf blindness
    in narcissistic arrogance,
flooded in numb apathy that exudes
    from depths of impenetrable stoicism
    unable to surface when the light shines.
