dreaming - please let the night be kind

It washes over me

A blanket so thick

This sadness envelops like fog

Into the quiet

I step out

Let the night be kind

To the crickets and the rain

I meet you there

Illuminated in front of black spruce

With every raindrop that hits my face

Your image so clear then

Fades with the night’s tears

The sadness that envelops me

And I am grateful

Loved as never before

It slowed time redundant

And I remember every syllable

Of our radiant touch

Let the night be kind

To us both



from where does the light come
