Creature of Nocturnal Existence
I fade into the darkness
It swallows me whole
I sit with stars
As the light fades
The moon illuminates
My emotions awake
While most repose
I play with shadows
In the shade of night
With only the moonlight
I, the pariah am nocturnal
I play in the peaceful eternal
Dreams escape in the dark
Soon, soon the sun arise
I watch my dark skies go
I must now close my eyes.

It swallows me whole
I sit with stars
As the light fades
The moon illuminates
My emotions awake
While most repose
I play with shadows
In the shade of night
With only the moonlight
I, the pariah am nocturnal
I play in the peaceful eternal
Dreams escape in the dark
Soon, soon the sun arise
I watch my dark skies go
I must now close my eyes.

for someone like me who suffers from insomnia on most nights i can identify with this poem so well, the night seems so endless on those nights which you captured here so well Anon.

I am certainly an insomniac, countless are the night I've spent up alone, not able to sleep, listening to the night sounds and watching the moon set and the sun rise. Thank you for stopping by, my friend, always delightful to see you around. ~anonshadow
