Bathed in the dark
I take to the forest
with starlight above.
A crescent moon
brightens the sky
and betrayals fade beneath
the streetlights of home.
I treasure the night,
luxuriate in its beauty,
resting like the sea
between the flux of tides
the strength of darkness
brings peace for the coming day.
