Still Night


Still Night
written May th, 2021

The stillness
of dark night
surrounds me
swallowing the light
suspending animation
sinisterly whispering
stealing my breath
stifling me

and I wonder
how long will it be
still night.

So many "s" words! I do love when it makes sense to focus on something like that. Spent a couple days running to my notebook to write down another one. But not too many "s" words at one time. And I loved the transition from the opening peaceful still night, to the ending, how long will this night go on? lol. Oh the joys of insomnia.

You do write so beautifully. I was up and down the other night like that.

The Light is shinning and she is lonely and waiting in the darkness.

I like that this piece contains the potential for multiple interpretations, and the flow is great with the alliteration.

Thank you. Trying to process stuff. Maybe each poem is a little progress? lol.

Till the night fade away
The sun comes up to stay
Washing the night away
It's a new start to a new day.
Sleep well
Then enjoy your day
XOXOXO
