Night, crowded with a pale haze, a lavender mystery Even darkness was grateful that the moon wasn't having it As it beamed through low whispered wind and intrigue intermingling Continue your deep slumber, uninterrupted by any queries or controversies The last few lights go out as dreams are counted one by one, longings promised Yet, unfulfilled and unfulfillable when the night sky has other plans for sleeping heads The oldest secrets are explained in unknown languages in encrypted symbols held within a fog Across galaxies streaming onwards from its origins into the present constellations of understanding The moon and its mythology wrap the night around a soul that wants to hide among the warm lavender night
The format, which isn't possible here, is one of short to long by the end of the poem. I love the dramatic effect.
