night – Page 20 – Carl Setzer: Word Shaper

Darkness Descending

Darkness descending
That living within our hearts
Often thrives at night

Today’s light is gone
Faded into memory
The air’s cool stillness

This one didn’t get published for some reason. I do love it, so am sharing it now.

Rain’s sound consumes me

Voices carried through the night

Soothing my soul

Lights flicker at night

There’s calmness in the darkness

Unexpected peace

Sun is descending

Night’s seduction embracing

Darkness’ comfort

Gazing towards the stars
I’m filled with wonder and hope
Our future lies there

Night darkens the air
Brilliantly colored clouds fade
Hidden in the sky

Sunlight exhausted
Sky bound colors delightful
Quietude calms me

Upon air I fly
Drifting lightly, clouds below
Light flows into night

This one came from my notes. Written in 2010, but not about air travel.

Jewels upon blackness,
Tangled sparkles, velvet dreams,
Icy air drives me.
