~

Night is a shuddering child afraid to ask for light getting the idea to giggle over a smuggled torch, then tiptoe to the glow of the dreams in Nod. Night is a Van Gogh sky more indigo than navy, star-whorled over a couple making love by a barely talking creek, not feeling a rock. Night is a refuge, a threat, an endless wait, a comet, a promise, broken, or not. Night is an owl or a nightingale or a siren, or all three. Night is the throat of a rose, velvet meeting velvet, quicksand unseen. If we're brave luv, for you and for me. (c) Phyllis Jean Green, August, 2007

Greatly enjoyed this fantastically painted canvas of perspectives and consequences contrasting the beauty of the night with its mysteries and potential...dangers?... The mood and imagery swallow the reader like an eclipse.

Night

is a refuge, a threat,
an endless wait,
a comet, a promise,
broken, or not.

These are my favorite verses. I love the whole poem, Pea. Thank you. Love and best wishes,

This crashes to the earth like a blazing comet spinning out of control with such wonderfully vivid images capturing the mysteries of the night.

The way you show the stages...what the night can mean to a child--what it holds in so many different ways--to the haven for lovers...

original and lovely, Pea
