shadows deepen, stretching
reaching out to the night
to become one with the dark
as lonely stars peek
through the azure dusk
evening alive with her mysteries
solved by ear and less the eye
and I sink into the darkness
becoming invisable to myself
denying the night my intrusion
in the arms of a breeze
leaves sway and twirl at will
laughing softly at passing tickle
of this flirtacious lover
in the freedom of their dance
caressing with soft of glow
hints the silent moon's arrival
a crecendo of whispers, as shadows flee
safe from prying beams display
hiding inside the depth of their being
