Night does poetry for
me and when humanity
sleeps it  awakens me.

Night allows the tears
that day dries and my
words are written
seeking an aching
beauty only the moon
knows.

I like people who have
brains, humor and wit,
*****, self confidence,
( not narcissism ),
resilience, strength of
character, a willingness
to learn and be taught
( humility ), those who
have been through some
**** in their life and pushed
through it ( we all have a
story, don't we ).

If you think and talk
about what goes deep
beneath the surface,
I will notice.
