Night Comes
October 13, 2008
A thorny cactus lies
In wait
Vibrant yellow as its bait
He lifts his eyes
From that lure
And looks upon
The forest –
Pure.
Small twigs snap
Beneath
His feet
And with each
Step
It does
Repeat
Within this place-
He knows no hate
And to the trees
He can
Relate
Next to these
He takes a seat
Slower-
Now-
His-
Heart-
Does-
Beat-
In this silent
Solitude
He collects morning dew.
As morning does renew
He knows-
Night comes after you.
