night – Page 2 – Leaf And Twig

Advent

each rising day
owes recompense
to the necessary night

night held tight
in the morning’s frost
while the bloom asserted day

leaves newly gone
night unpacks her bags
no gloom in the glooming

colors smolder
as light negotiates night
landscape of the soul

pumpkin wears
a constellation of light
and the black of night

golden lanterns
in the fading light
accompany day into night

night’s white blanket
tucked in all the green
the garden bed is cozy cold

night’s cold breath
caresses the branches
her touch released by the sun

berries bright cheer us on
through winter’s night
until spring’s dawn

the night
left behind
half of the moon

bare branches
still covered in night
receive the morning sky

Midnight’s lamp
guides the sleepless
through the dark

During the quiet of the night
they come from all directions on paw and hoof
to reach the sacred spot and journey beyond.

no matter
how dark
the night.

A tree of color shouts out into the bright blue night
calling to the night’s first, tiny star
friend, I’ve missed you.

In the winter days darkness comes long before night.
It can seem the sun shines only in the distance
while the cold grabs on tight as a tick.
