THE NIGHT

This is something I wrote a few months ago...................

So calm and tender,
her silent symphony;
Of the blowing wind caressing
the leaves on the trees.

So beautiful and endless,
The grey-black tinted sky;
She spreads her translucent veil
over the ground and passersby.

The stars; hidden by darkness,
The moon, suddenly shy;
The wind moves erratically,
She lets out a quiet sigh.

A hint of cold air,
the fresh smell of rain;
brought to us with pure love,
to free us of pain.

The wind gains velocity,
It increases in force;
It brushes against my face
removing all traces morose.

A shiver runs down my spine,
The night’s like a lover;
It gently seduces me,
My blood rushes with fervour.

The sensuous cajoling,
Of the night touches my soul;
Even with its pitch darkness,
It promises light- future gold.

The night gently envelops me,
In its intoxicating embrace;
My eyes then surrender,
And I drift off to an unreal place.
