The Night

cold and barren

the windswept fields,

dark

and gray

in the moonlight

walking

through wooded

meadows,

she calls

and I must

go,

her voice

beckoning my soul

to come

lie at her

feet;

she washes my face

with raven hair,

wet with teardrops

from things

unseen,

unknown,

in her arms

I know no

fear;

she is the night,

when she calls

no man

resists her voice,

she is the darkness

living in us

all.
