Illuminating The Dark

As the Zodiac illuminates the ebon sky above
the silken night winds, whisper of eternal love
And the hours till the coming of approaching dawn
set jewels of dew on each blade within the lawn

A night bird sings soft of the day now just past
the echoes set the moment in our mind so fast
Cloaked in a gown of stygian black, time floats on
only to slip away, in the soft pearl and gold of dawn

I watch the sands flow through the glass a pace
knowing the flow so eternal in its linear race
Accepting the gift of this moment with humble need
to remember it so much, when later my soul to feed

Peace comes to the quiet mind, finally at rest
in which the turbulent flow is overcome as test
The gladdened heart fills, with a moment most sublime
and then one captures a fragment of ever moving time





Good Night one and all
