Gift



I feel the night spirits beckon me 
The crowns of trees form a canopy overhead,
high above me, hiding the stars
A frost settles over all
moss and stone alike
A sudden breeze caresses my face
as sensual as a lover’s touch
Night voices whisper
The dark is quivering with life
Despair lifts , rising upward in a mist
I am overwhelmed 
An omen,
 a nocturnal gift

  1. This is deliciously dark and enticing!💘 The image of the "sudden breeze," reminds me of saying that we have here in the East regarding ghosts being active around time of evening.

  3. Night is indeed a gift, a time to heal and renew. I love the chilly image in the lines:
    ‘A frost settles over all
    moss and stone alike’
    and
    ‘A sudden breeze caresses my face
    as sensual as a lover’s touch’.
