The Night

My words fade in the daylight
They surrender to the sun
But when dark descends
They exist  ponderously-
Give out everything that
 The day fails to reveal
The commotion and suspense of feelings
Gathered in the darkness
And the night is full of words
I write them down, they come to me,
And say: ``Fear no more.``
They dissolve in the air
Giving all my sorrows
To some sea, which cries
For all burden, renews,
Makes a fresh  start,
Forgives and forgets
And it is so strange
How they still have the power
To make the Moon shine in the sky
