Night's hope

Night's hope


Night stretches endless

Renders everything colorless


Sketches stark shapes in gray

Reveals stories, unsaid during the day


Houses the ghouls of suspicion, dread,fear

Serenity of silence, dew drops' gentle tear


Yet, every night, of gain or pain

Carries in itself the next day's grain

Sleeps in the dreams,of a new days' hope

Those dreams, strewn stars, envelope

Thus I traverse this endless night

In hopes of a new day, new light

Filled with your presence, bright
