The night is my muse

 


The night is my muse

She inspires thoughts,

lights the fuse,

firing my imagination

to spin into other worlds

to witness the universe

that we hold within ourselves.

It’s not a ruse or

a lie hidden

in the light of day,

she is the joy I feel

when light is

consumed

and only hope

sits in the way.

 

The night

sings to me,

I listen intently,

content in

seeing the beauty

in its motions

projected

by the moon

flittering upon the world I see

like ripples on vast oceans.

I seek meaning

in the emotion of the clouds

as they cry down.

Are they sad or happy tears?

Is the moon smiling

or wearing a frown?

 

The night is sublime,

the peaceful time

when our thoughts unwind.

When our burnt-out bodies

curl up into protective balls

to refresh our bones

and still our minds.

It allays my fears.

The way the light bends

through the atmosphere,

it’s so airy and clear.

The night is open

it welcomes you in

with a cheer. It tells you

to pull up a seat

and watch as it puts on

a treat for tired eyes,

and you can just calm

feeling the rhythm

it holds inside.

 

The night is my muse.

She doesn't amuse herself

with causing hurt,

she just twinkles

across the sky,

sharing her sparkle

as you ponder why

we humans have to

pick apart all the good

leaving only tears to cry.

Why we carry so much dark inside

When the dark outside

carries so much light?
