Dark Nights

Dark nights
waking dreams
fear blossoming full
moonlight brings silence
mystery
concealment
darkness
in a shining pool

Stars wink overhead, as
sinister plots echo
darkness
of the night
absence
of the morn
only shadows remain
in sight

the wind sighs
a gentle, regretful note
it knows
it sees
and can do nothing more
the light
sorrowful
breeze.

dawn approaches
breaking through dusk
shrugging off its cocoon
as the sun rises
darkness subsides
smiling
knowing
it'll be back soon.
