Step into the Dark

“i St

ep

into the not

merely immeasurable into

the mightily alive the

dear beautiful eternal night”

― E.E. Cummings

the moon is a sliver

the darkness profound

deep and silent

but not so silent

this bottomless blackness

an owl hoots

a mother cow

bawls for its baby

desperation

a cat prowls

the wind sings the blues

sighing through the trees

a million points of light

flicker

flicker

the sky lives

and I am wrapped gently

gently

by the eternal

and so

I rest

peace
