Night


I love reading Human Being's blog, she is so deep, so mystical, so deep!

She has invited us to write a poem about the night...and this one just flowed out of my head in an instant and on to a scrap of paper:

Night

Oh how I feared the night when I was young,
Dark and gruesome
Fierce and full of woes.

Oh how I feared the night when I grew up,
Tummy empty, yet bloated still
Filled with pangs of remorse.

Now the night is fearful not,
Quiet, peaceful, all around
Sleep, rest, be still.
