I want to be the night

peaceful and mysterious

I want to be the night

A companion of the loners

I want to be the night

A  healing phase

I want to be the night

when hearts open up

I want to be the night

when the pain flows

out with tears

I want to be the night

in its full glory

I want to be the night

when the moon is

dull pale yet serene

shining amid the grey clouds

I want to be the night

when stars twinkle

I want to be the night

when the worries

are forgotten

and the eye-lids

are pulled down by

deep slumber

I want to be the night

dark and beautiful

I want to be the night

calm and tranquil. . .
