In the darkness of the night

Sometimes within ourselves comes everlasting peace..

In the darkness of the night
I search for you
My hands feeling the walls
Of your mind.

Your thoughts
I softly touch
Flooding them with everlasting light
Let them carry you I say.

Along the path of moments of peace
To sanction, surreal dreams
Wonder of all tomorrows
Take away your deepest sorrows.

Softly I sooth you..
Caressing your inner memory
Of a simple moment in time
Captured of the utmost joy.

'Remember'
I softly whisper.

Like a breeze
I am.

Feel me move past you?
Within you?

The flames softly flickering
In your thoughts.

Of me
Of peace
Dreams of treasured thoughts
Distant music of far-away lands.

Hear it,
Playing softly?
Over and over again
Soothing your every senses.

Listen..

Ahhh, yes...
Close your eyes
Let it gently caress the darkness around.

Oh the sweetness it brings...

Play on..

Play on..

Yes...

In the darkness of the night
I search for you.

My hands feeling the walls
Of your mind.

Well dear Magdelena, you have sung as song that calms the frantic nerves and begs for me to conceed to the passing of the night. Yet there is a hint of forboding. I feel like I should stay awake and guard myself somehow. My mind felt the tips of your fingers flit across the expanding consciousness of the words that you were whispering from someplace unseen... I think I may not be ready yet... :-)
Very effective! Enjoyed your peom.
Be well.

nice thougths Magdelena....a very creative and mystical poem, sharing the imagination from within, reaching the very mind of another...nice....

I like the idea of searching around in the darkness of someone elses mind.
'Let it gently caresses the darkness around...' - you might want to knock the 'es' of the end of the word 'caress'.
Great poem :)

love it...

You may have found the man .... the one for all times ..... but the wall protects more than an intrusion, it calls to you to come live in its mortar and bricks and discover its secrets.

A deeply insightful poem about the great mystery of knowledge. I take it you may be making some travel plans soon.
