Seconds Encircle the Night

I have seen seconds encircle the night, one at a time
So often within the twinkle of an eye
Waking me to wander from the deepest slumber
Into places where my spirit seeks
The moon on high

Seconds lay waiting like butterflies of innocence
Passing silently without any regret
Until a stroke of midnight rings in so boldly
What is nothing becomes that
You cannot forget

I close my eyes on sleepless nights; listen to the sky
Laughing and smiling as if it understands
Why seconds encircle the night, one at a time
Then appear so innocent while I lie here
Under their command

Passing seconds can change into minutes, then hours
While you wait within the twinkle of an eye
To wake up and wander from the deepest slumber
Into those places your spirit seeks
To see on high

Inspirational piece Neva...those sleepless nights can give us the views of memories and opportunities...we reflect upon seconds and yet they are so small a poetion of time when we are Universally connected...seeking those heights that we reach when we truly look deep inside our Souls...lovely write...

I wonder you weave words so beautifully as inspirational or romantic poems.Your poems wonder me more than how wonder at the seconds encircling the night.Your poems difficult to analyze and comments.Each seems better than the previous one.I am just a kid before you as a poet.You are the muse.

These lines speaks to me: "Then appear so innocent while I lie here
under their command"
Have the compulsion and ravages of time ever been put more succinctly?
A sweetly simple insight devastating in its ramifications!
Well done, Neva.
