night song

The night sings
of its silence
and here I am
listening to its song

Sing to me
of that distinct sound
that lures
the dawn to come

Sing to me
of certainties,
of hope, of goodness
of love

Sing to me,
let me fathom
your rhythm,
your language, your mystery

Sing, o night
charm this shadowy heart
by your grace
by your song
