When The Night Has Come



When night has come like a thief in the night 
blowing winds of fierce by a blinding light 
When the moon's nightdress is a billowed glance   
in the same dark sky where the stars have danced 

When your broken sleep is far too steep 
and your much too tired for arms to keep 
When the only glow flows through a lamp 
and your sheets are damp as a soggy stamp, 

It is time to raise your eyes and pray  
and hope He meets you, in mid-way !

No he is never far from us, it is us who drift away at times, but we return for He is the only one that brings peace to our broken hearts Joe

Made my heart dance and embrace the light that emanates from your cosmically divine words woven in such eloquence! Pleasure reading. Sending you light always
