Peaceful Evening

Phoenix Montoya on Oct 11, 2011

Night time passion.

How I long for the night –

be it starlit or starless,

gloomy or bright.

Night time – Oh, such kindness!

Not that I am obsessed,

or a creature of the night.

But, someone blessed,

to attain it tonight.

Not that I seek escape,

from the certainty in light.

But to stay safe,

as I secure my fight.

Longing to close my eyes,

in the shade of a raven.

Mere man as I,

sleep – sweet piece of heaven.

desire to draw near my sagaciousness, the representation of a corvine bird.
