The silence of the shadows

Breathe a deep sigh in the silence of the shadows,

become still as you drink in the night,

savor the solitary moments alone

with the magical touch of moonlight.

Feel as it weaves through you, cleansing your thoughts,

removing the grit and the grime

that's tainting your vision, containing your soul,

in the distance the old church bells chime.

Watch as the ribbons untie and fall,

one by one, they allow your release,

and you soar into velvety arms that reign

in a space of content that won't cease.

So as this day nods its head towards the dusk,

I welcome the coming night,

brought by the heavens, kissed by the stars,

to this dark I submit without fight.
