Hold the Night
Ugonna Wachuku
Hold the night. Hold my love.
Hold my dreams for mankind.
Hold my fears tonight. Keep
the fleeing night. Keep my
care.
See my mood. Hold the night,
beautiful one. Please, hold
the fleeting night.
Don't let this night walk
away in the dark. Hold the
night.
Hold my dreams for
all humankind and our dying
environment. Hold the night,
beautiful one.
Cape of Good Hope darling,
let it be the night of a
bountiful new dawn for you
and for me, for everyone
across the planet, for our
bleeding beautiful blue earth.
Hold the night, I beg of you.
Tell me you will hold the night
till dawn.
Please, tell me you will
hold this love of mine till
the night sings of a refreshing,
healing, new morning for humankind.
Please, Cape of Good Nomathemba
darling, hold my uplifting care
till the fleeing night smiles
into heaven's blessed morning.
Just hold the night!
Hold this night!
Please, hold the night,
Cape of Good Hope lady!
The night of the
spirit's deep.
HI BROTHER,
AFTER TWO WEEKS OF MARRIAGE, I HAVE FELT THE ESSENCE OF THIS POEM,I NOW WISH SOMETHING COULD HOLD THE NIGHT A LITTLE AS THE DAY NOW SEEMS TO SEPARATE ME FROM MY LOVE.

THE REPETITION OF THE WORDS: HOLD THE NIGHT DRIVES HOME THE STRENGTH & THE POWER OF THIS PIECE. THE REST IS SIMPLY THE FRAGRANCE THAT COMES WITH THE BEAUTY LIKE A ROSE IN FULL BLOOM. IF ONLY, THE PLEA IS CLEAR, WE CAN MAKE TIME STAND STILL... LOVELY, BUT, THEN I AM VERY PARTIAL TO NIGHT POEMS. THEY ARE MY FAVOURITE. AMY
Gentle is the night♥
I’m simply in awe of the beauty here . . . the sweetest music for the heart and soul. Patricia
