Night’s Promise

Night descends slowly

Like a silent admirer

Trying to listen to your soul

Your dreams will blend

With silence of the night

There is an unspoken promise

To offer a comfortable embrace

Delicate night, to cushion your woes

Night’s promise to cradle you to sleep

Hold out your hand

And feel the night on your fingers

Deft playfulness on your palm

Night is here to stay

It’s a silent promise to your soul©
