In the shadow night
In the shadow night
Under the cover of dark
Feel a bit of peace
In the shadow night
Under the cover of dark
Feel a bit of peace
bound up in a shell
being wrapped in close and tight
wonder at what's next
sitting in the dark
just wanting to be alone
take in the rainfall
still on the front porch
listening as the rain comes
breathe in the freshness
to dream of the past
to remember the future
live another day
A new crack is found
A fissure where there was none
To be wanting less
feeling of deep need
tension of waiting on edge
anticipation
feeling the movement
the flow of the syllables
a haiku it is
giving up sorrow
for it to be felt no more
there too would go joy
restless is the night
wrapped in a sense of broken
pieces in the dark
