Night Time

 


Night Time

 

Gathering colour

encircling life

leaving lonely flickers

where stillness hangs.

Sheltering, embracing

all who rest in murmurs,

swirls of hush.

 

Black sighs its name

to inner visions

rising in whispering minds

still believing,

until a jolt shakes, stirs,

lifts the final chapter

allowing morning in.
