Night and Day


the night orders a refrain
it asks not what can be done
only that it is
waits without jury
as it beckons light
like a calling
like a creative mind
waiting to unwind
waiting to feel the breath
a whisper sung
into an ear
that has waited forever
as have we all
and will always wait
within a yearning heart
not speaking of gifts
no offers of the edge
gilded and golden
just the whisper
the scent of the earth
the treasure in nature
not real to another
but in the taste
of your sweet
unconditional
therapy
the night awaits you
as you
await the day
