Come The Night

I'll be leaving Monday for a week or so, so I'll have to catch up with everyone when I get back! :)

Come the night with beckoning
her clouded arms soft comfort finds…
Beneath her jeweled sky above
undresses soul while stress unwinds.

Soft glow of moon to light the way
barefoot across the flagstone sneak…
I listen as the shadows fall
intent on hearing nature speak.

To cast away the heat of day
into the coolness of the deep…
For just a moment to unwind
before my mind can fall asleep.

To wish once more upon the star
that shines most brightly in the sky…
That all is calm in dreams tonight
with angels keeping watch close by.

Beneath the maple, wildflowers
sway in shadows soft and gray…
I breathe their fragrance in the breeze
that washes all the world away.

I’ve found my center once again
where soul is fed for what it yearns…
I’ll keep the solace in my heart
until the night once more returns.
