Let me be snared by the tangles of unrefined evenings
To see the beauty of stark lightlessness in full bloom
Plunging half the world to an interlude of sleep
In the impermanence of her enigmatic abyss.
Let Chaos retreat to the comfort of his wayward nest
So I can enjoy a soliloquy of peace and quiet
Let the humdrum noises melt into the pitch black darkness
Until I find my clarity beneath hushed blankets.
Things tumble to their sealed fates like board pieces
Untethered by the vanities of this dog eat dog world.
The silence only broken by the chirping of crickets
Mended by the flutter of night birds as the stillness unfolds.
