Night’s Embrace

From deep slumber, I do awake

A whisper lingers in the air.

To the door I go and open

and find it waiting there.

The Night, it beckons

Long have I waited for its call.

To join with it, I do desire

To It I will give my all.

Out into the Night I go.

Each step quicker than the last.

Upon me is the need to run

wild and free and fast.

With wild abandon, I do run.

My skin, the breeze caresses.

Soil cool beneath bare feet.

Wind blowing long red tresses.

Silvery light guides my way.

Brightly shining is the moon.

Nature's earthy scent entices.

With it I am in tune.

Slowing down, I begin to walk

Into the woods I went

Beloved trees align my path.

Deeper in, I'm being sent.

Upon a clearing I do come

a magical oasis is found.

Night flowers bloom near moss covered stones.

A nearby stream playing a musical sound.

Against a tree, I slowly sink

to the ground I find my rest.

Breathing in this wondrous moment

I welcome Nature at its best.

Flitting about, tiny lights I see

doing a merry little dance.

Closer they come, understanding hits

It is fairies I see, but not by chance.

Chosen I am for this rare treat.

Rewarded for always believing

in the existence of things I cannot see.

Humbled greatly by this gift I'm receiving.

Heart, soul and mind at peace,

the body tires from its mad race.

I lay back against the tree and sleep

dreaming whilst nestled in its embrace.
