Poem of the Month

Cover of Night

Under the cover of night

The world breathes out

Opening up its cosmic template

Dim those artificial lights

So the stars may speak

Let the night sky soothe

And cradle your dreams

What flickers above?

What moves below?

Kindle heaven’s flame

Brighten that soft forever fire

To broaden your vision

What celestial bodies move overhead?

What answers emerge from within?

Do night hide

Under the cover of night

Gaze up and own its gift
