The Show
Why doth darkness draw me near?
Why feareth not I the lack of light?
Me thinks heaven is closer at night
Less to see and more to feel.
Sneaketh I like a child off into the night
After all else is asleep
The house is quiet
Out cometh I to admire
What simple beauty you are
White on black
Light on dark
Light in circles and dots
and wispy flowing changing silk strands
What wonders performeth thou in thy night
Peace and calm flows down upon me
Like a little puppy
I lap it all up
Nourished to face the next day
A day of contradiction
One not of our making, but ours
How confusing we make it
See how the last three lines ruined the flow?
Back to the darkness
Caress me near
Thy chill of night is my warmth
Let’s get on with the show!
