The Night Is Not Lonely

The night has come
stars are shining in the sky,
they seem so near,
and I am watching
for the moon to appear.
The night comes
and some fill with fright,
I am a day walker
also of the night.
there's beauty when the sun shines,
and shows the flowers colorshine
for me the night also shows
in the void, there is beauty in the nightshine.

Wind I Am More

Gray clouds advancing
across the sky
a gray armada,
like ships in the sky.

Lighting flashes,
across the sky are hurled.
you can almost see,
the ships sails unfurled
as they sail on across the world.
