The Night like Death wears

it’s veil with pride and glee

relishing darkness

As death pockets souls

so does the night collect stars

one by one by one

The stars like all souls

are helpless in the Night’s claws

twinkle with feigned joy

All souls like the stars

are imprisoned in Death’s cage

there is no escape

The night is of death

death is of the night fleeting

rest eternal sleep.
