Skirting the Truth
.
At times we dance around the truth
Brush against it like a moth
Until clouds appear and hide its light
Turning daytime into night

Night, Wind and Son
Post No. 871

Night, Wind and Son
.
I wake in the night
To the moon and stars
Shining ever so bright
Embellishing the skies
.
The wind whispers His name
Rustling through the trees
Who are you, I ask
I am He, it replies
.
The Son, heaven’s crown
Blesses all He shines upon
Bringing life-giving rain
Relief from heat and pain

Black
.
Black as the night
Absorbing all light
Sometimes invisible
But very beautiful
When viewed silhouetted
Against the bright rising sun
Emerald eyes stare
Unblinking, considering
Which way to run…
And then he was gone.

Sleepless
~~
The inky blackness of the night
Is warm and cloying on my skin
Blanket-like it covers me
I find it difficult to breathe
Clotted air weighs heavily
Upon my body as I lie
Presses down against my breast
A spectral lover in the dark
Would that you’d return to me
Hold me in your gentle arms
Stroke me with your loving touch
And be the one I miss so much
~~

Night
.
Silence is broken
Torn open
By the hoot
Of a solitary owl
And the quarter moon
Exposed
Unclothed
Slides
Tries to hide
Behind a cloud
In the sky

Other Worldly
.
On the cusp of sleep
Thoughts, imagination, inspiration
Wander up hill and down dale.
Recollections… introspections… meditations…
.
Material obsessions:
Baubles bright in the sunlight,
Earthly jewels, possessions,
Worth nought in the afterlife.
.
Treasures of the soul:
Love, joy, contentment,
Life-energy spiritually whole,
Surrendered to His control.

Ghost Ship
Ghost Ship
.
Ghost Ship
.
A ghost ship
Riding the fog
Night of the dog
Silence weighed heavy
In days of yore
During the War
When a whispered breath
Could bring death

Shades and Shadows
*
In the blackest black of night
Sea and sky are joined as one
With no horizon, no decisive line
Of separation.
*
So if, in life, we cross into the night,
Stray beyond the edge of light,
And, excepting we atone, we remain
Sullied by sin.

SPIDERS
SPIDERS
In my bed at night
I can’t switch off the light
When I know there’s a spider in the room
And when it’s out of sight
I’m ready to take flight
If I know there’s a spider in my home

Dream Queen of the Dance
Dream Queen of the Dance
I felt so light
I could have danced all night
From the stately waltz
To the tantalizing
Rumbas and sambas
Dancing for joy
My head in the clouds
My feet above ground
It felt so right
Lost in the music of the night
