When the day turns into evening
and the sun finds solace
on the other side of nowhere,
the stars sparkle with the freshness
of an evergreen forest.
Twilight has come to the day
as the creatures of the night
rise from their momentary rest
to begin the foraging and the feast.
The darkness quick appears
then disappears into itself
as shadows obscure all
that is visible by the light of day.
Across the ocean,
the moon sparkles the cresting waves,
before it is enveloped by the clouds
brought by the ever changing wind.
The beauty of the universe
is quick swallowed up
in the developing darkness
as colors and visions
disappear into its depth.
The hand searching out for guidance,
too, is obscured
but an arms length
from the tip of our being.
This is the night,
sullen and beautiful,
silent and austere,
simple and solitary,
full with the wonderment
of a now only imagined world. | | © 2002 David Devaney |
