I wrung out the night twisting, squeezing with a groan it took all my might all my power down to the bone then i laid it out to the air and ran my fingers through it`s darkness i heard it`s call, said run with me electric jolted by it`s starkness i felt my spirit bolt for the gate with a surprising quickness of old i let the night overcome me wrap me up, let it grab a hold had been eons since i felt this... escape! had screamed my soul but loosed it now flew reckless drunk on life`s living as one free and having smelled the sweet air i wonder if it will come back to me and be happy to be caged in flesh imprisoned by the dawn, returned to it`s posture the line of it`s sensibilities drawn one thing is for certain and this i vow as true it won`t be as long till the next time that oh night i run with you |

I often run with the night as well, I find a peace within that most don't see. Great Poem! The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, not the kindly smile, not the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when he discovers that someone believes in him and is willing to trust him with his friendship." --Ralph Waldo Emerson |
