Moments of the night



Moments of the night


Nights strung together

With moments tenderly gathered


Moments of unrequited longing

Moments of happy belonging


Moments of festivity, celebration

Moments of lonely suffocation


Moments of quiet, wakeful serenity

Moments of stress, unrest , resolve, gritty


Moments of sweet slumber peaceful

Moments of many dreams colorful


Or perhaps,moments strung together

Through nights, gratefully in memory, tethered.
