night
pipestrelles
shadowsin flight through
the
breaths
of
eve-
ning, care-
less, free
ly,
dancing with their pointy little capes,
pirouetting
through swarms of dinner and careening, zooming, just above our heads!
chittering
tiny bodies
plunge past
deliberations
of a perigee
moon.
The Night
What’s in the night?
What secrets
Does the darkness hold?
How can it change a man
In ways untold?
Only in the night.
Can he finally say,
The words to keep
His beloved close.
Making her weep.
Because only in the night,
His thoughts become words.
And she can finally hear
What she means to him
And down falls a tear
Only in the night

Sleepless
Ever lasting nightmares
Sleepless nights
Lord take me away from this horror
I beg of you O lord, please
I beg of you...
Sleepless
Twisting, turning, learning
Why the night's for sleeping,
Seconds creeping through my head,
I'm filled with dread-
What if I never sleep again?
No Time For Goodbyes
It creeps in the shadows of the night,
Looking for any food in sight,
You'll never hear it coming behind you,
'Cause it's smooth, sly, fast, and it'll blind you,
You might just wanna stay in your bed,
With your covers way over your head,
For it may see the fear in your eyes,
Then there'll be no time for goodbyes.
"Night"
by Jeph Johnson
As the sun sets they all debut
And play a game that's a prelude;
Called waiting for the morning dew.
They start out as a scattered few
And then align to make a new
Luminescent magnitude.
Brightly they all rendezvous
As the sky turns to black from blue
And so appears a harvest moon
That sets the tides, not just the mood
And who's light beams down into our room.
God's hand is set to introduce
To us a glimpse into nature's clues
Through daylight's lasting residue
And sultry fragrance of perfume
And other secrets no one knew
Even ones thought of as taboo
Now it seems we've no excuse
So I must give my gratitude
And stop awhile and be with you.
