this is the bewitching time
a slowing down time
while the franticness of the day
surrenders to the intimacy of night
as the harried and confusing day
dies away and its noise
is relaxed to a more peacefulness
sans the reverberation of all the clutter
the merging darkness
charms the collisions of daytime clash
night is the time
where things mean more to us
and in that vein
we are truer to ourselves
in the dark of the hour

Liking your still of the night, free of the rest of the world' clutter,
a time to just be

Thank you much, Emma, it is the nighttime when we can allow our thoughts the freedom to wonder, or wander, unperturbed.

Yes it is true and peaceful even until dawn.
Freedom of the mind is a blessed thing...It can take you where ever you want to go...
Nice piece to wake up to Jerry.

Glad you liked the poem, Lori. Yes, nighttime is special here in Thibodaux, even with the occasional siren to startle the night, I know it is most likely speeding to someone in need.

Love the concept here... one might even take it a step further to say we are only truly ourselves when we dream. Some deep thoughts for this early in the morning. Think I need my coffee.

Wow, MY dreams, if truly, the true me . . .
I want them to be my waking life!! They are so exciting and wonderful (whether good or nightmarish) and would add such a spice to life!

Good words, my friend...

fodder for the mind for sure!

Thank you J., dreams are, as you said the spice of life unless it is the other kind.
