-- The Eye of Midnight --

­­John Herlihy

Who dives into the deep blue sea,

But the one willing to brave its depths.

Who struggles to reach mountain peaks,

But the one willing to climb their heights.

Who plunges into the heart of the night,

But the one willing to explore its darkness.

Who goes forth in the brightness of day,

But the one willing to capture its light.

Who ready to fill the minutes of the hour,

But the one willing to ride time’s arrow.

Who ready to gaze into the eye of midnight,

But the one willing to taste of its raw power.

All of nature abounds, ever reckless, ever willing,

The light of moonbeams over the horizon spilling.
