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
