Let it all go into the night,

Let it all fall with the rains,

Count cars going up the 405,

Speeding to their destinations,

Time is stopped for me,

And day dreams become reality,

Time issues a pause,

Catches me out of the corner of it’s eyes,

Hunched over at my desk,

Giving it another lament.

My friends peering in on me from now and then,

Everyone asking if I am ok,

But I answer with a whisper,

A fake smile,

And empty hands.

But night,

Night is so beautiful!!

You are my comfort,

Hiding away all of the places that I can run to,

Stars so exquisite!!

Hand picked from the tree by God.

You know me,

And all of my sorrows,

Moon has heard my calls,

And Orion has had my memory tucked into his belt.

Breezes- you have dried my tears,

And you woman!!

Imaginary angel, my savior,

Woman so pure,

Woman so true,

Angel, floating on her wings of love,

Your embracing me now,

Rubbing my sore shoulders,

Easing these tired eyes into sleep.

You, celestial woman!!

Take another flight,

Another jaunt around the heavens’,

Fill more voids,

Tell the stars to sing to me again,

Teach this pen to write one more time,

Oh Night!!

How many years and paths we have traveled down?

So many prisons we have locked ourselves into,

Now you know me,

Give me these visions,

But do not stray,

Settle over me night!!

Blanket me, vision of angel woman-

Object of my desire,

And I will be alone again,

At least for now.
