what is it about the night
that makes me want you here?
is it the cover of darkness?
the knowledge that all we have
is nothing we can see?
what is it about the night
that belongs to it alone?
that breaks us into tiny pieces
as morning whispers dawn
or the sun lights the day
what is it about the night
that brings contentment to my mind?
that caresses my soul in peace
and sends all my demons
to a dark and quiet place
