Paler Shade of Night

Paler Shade of Night

A Poem by Rick r
"

Night musing.

"

Solitude found a friend in me
Winter stole the rest
Wondering where my heart might be
While soul is sinking west

 

A paler shade of night comes 'round
Moon forgets to rise
An empty lamp of light surrounds
A view of starless skies

 

With eyes shut wide to lonesome light
Dreams escape my thoughts
Silence awakens fear of flight
A journey all for nought.
