“Night is a balm”
Night is a balm, the stillness soothing
my heart, granting some brief respite.
Clamour of the sun-driven world
in retreat, noise no longer confining
My mind. Words rise in the silence,
feelings and thoughts now free,
whirling and dancing joyously,
meeting each other in delight.
Night is a balm, healing the link to
my soul, granting it precious strength.
The pressures and needles now briefly
at bay, i can breathe again.
