Dark Night..She tells her tale

She stands still now… she had overpowered the light of the day
She smiles down at the black waves, her victory blankets the bay
She stares deep, takes in the beauty of dark
Velvet pillars they soar high, she watched day pass by, lark.

She’s talking to the moon, winks back to the twinkle of the star
Long friends we’ve been, welcome you from afar
Breathe in the beauty; it’s the sparkle of twilight
Denser, I will get now, it’s the time that is called night

There’s hours to go, & partner me to keep safe
The people they rest now, until morning day break
My friends be silent, heavenly bodies dimmer your lights
The people they rest now, allow peaceful sleep, their souls delight

She accompanies the mother, whispered bedtime rhymes
She watches over the street urchin, counted his day’s dimes
She hushes the voices of sweethearts; draws close the bodies of lovers
She engulfs time in her arms, midnight solace cover

Silent thru her journey, the occasional rustle of the winds
Carries them she heard they needed, drops it for the tired minds
Raging trees they upset her, darker darkness she’ll surround
My people they rest now, hold still hold ground.

The precious dreams they have to be seen unobscured
The blessing from heavens, many prayers now answered
My God has decided to call on you today
Gently & softly, I’ll make the path for His angels, obey.

Daughter of time so unearthly, in graceful black I stand
Watch over, I fulfill my responsibility towards this human land
Raising myself up now , swallow my pride within
Looking ahead at the horizon, Dawns breaking in

Goodbye to a known stranger

I ponder back I saw not a time that paths would cross with you
The goodbyes that were said, in my mind were goodbyes true
For you all had been wished well for
When upon new waters new winds you chose to soar.

Time has its ways, miles beyond distance.. fondness
Relations though nameless, beyond time..ageless
Some thoughts surround so as to care,
To watch one smile, even when you know not, its there

It’s a bond of the heart- true and meaningful
Not in a way binding, make it choke, stifle
A way paved by the mind understanding benign
The joys in the heart they rest, memories swell sweet feeling

No meets to obligation, no sets for expectation, no hurt no pain
A pure feeling of bliss in companionship to gain
Acceptance of it is.. pure form of being unconditional
In receiving and giving need it be perennial?

In all honesty I am with you.. and I agree
Beauty of a unnamed relation.. a union so free
Why would that be no surprise to me..no airs ever to impress
Reflecting back just good cheer, simple jest for the moment, allowed smiles caress

Life looks at those moments, when years ran, totaled to none
When the heart a million songs in a single one sung
When the most familiar were distanced from most,
When the stranger unknown counted upon

Then the heart grows fond knowing there is still hope
Allow love to blossom, in this world, man’s dope
And warm love settle over you.. mould you to receive the best that is to be
Little I know this stranger I like, but for the person he is, the best is meant for he
