You won’t come out with me after midnight?
Why?
Is night time more evil than daytime?
A cloudy day more evil than a sunny day?
Only in the mind is it so,
for the mind is conditioned to accept
that darkness harbors primordial evil.

Would you see the flight of the owl
over the dull gray snows?
The labour of the beaver
under the cycles of the moon?
Would you go swimming the river
only feeling the whispering waters
over your nude skin?

Why walk only one side of the path?
Come out into the blackened meadow
to hear the song of the stars!
Come see angels spread waves of coloured light
in the far northern regions!
Come track a shooting star
and make a wish with me:
Let me see you through your perfume...

This is so after my own heart.WW. I have always loved the night time and have never been afraid of the dark even when I was a small child. I love the way you said what I think.

WW, not only are you a gifted poet, but you are divinely so!

Your words ALWAYS reach in and touch my soul.

We need the yin to balance the yang! To quote lyrics from the song "High Hopes" ~ "You can't have one without the other!"

In the still of the night,

There definitely is a night-walker in me ...
AND -

'Would you go swimming the river
only feeling the whispering waters
over your nude skin?'

- Oh .. I would, I would~

I am GRANDLY fond of:

"Come out into the blackened meadow
to hear the song of the stars!...
Come track a shooting star"

['darkling' meadow might have been an
interesting choice as well?]

intensely sustained applause for this fine 'penning'!
