Trust the Night

Trust the night to wash away your tears ~
As the sun sets and the moon rises
the heaviness of the day is put to rest.

Trust the night to add starlight to your smiles ~
As blue sky fades into inky blackness
the excitement of the day glimmers and shines.

Trust the night to welcome the moon in all it’s phases ~
Riding horizon to horizon in silver gloss for
sleepy dreams to ride rhythm to moon glow.

Trust the night to darken and hide clouds ~
Wisps of slate and gray cloak moon and stars while
rain falls onto the sleeping landscape.

Trust the night to carry the song of the night birds ~
Clear notes of melancholic beauty
settling on the earth like the fall of starlight.

Trust the night to fade away as morning brightens ~
Ribbons of pink and rose and peach 
waken the dawn to a day of new opportunity.

“The silence of the night awakens my soul.”

~ Dorinda Duclos
