Night’s Solace

After the sun faded, buried under the horizon  
The sky’s dark drape fell, for the moon to emerge  
Settling with grace on the heart of sable satin  
Greeted by the septillion stars and lingering clouds  
   
An eternal canopy glowing in wonder of the heavens  
With the gentle breeze caressing my numbness  
Blowing life into me, igniting my soul with warmth  
With the night’s solace, I found beauty in quietude    
   
They all listened to my story with soft ears  
An embrace from nature soothing my worries  
Wiping my tears with gentle hands, I felt safe  
Wrapped in a cloak of the caring darkness
