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 !

"It is time to raise your eyes and pray and hope He meets you, in mid-way ! " :) He's already there. Beautiful poetry. Never away from us.

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

This sounds so melodious and soul warming dear rose! I love “ When the moon's nightdress is a billowed glance in the same dark sky where the stars have danced ” how beautiful and ethereal! 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
