I awoke in the middle
Of the night
And walked around
And found everything dark
And still in the silence
I beheld black curtains
Over all the mirrors
Time had stopped
Frozen in time upon the clocks

And it was then

I realized,
I was dead

But the night was
Forever young

And resuscitated by this
I became filled
With all the memories
Of who I once was
And who I imagined
Myself to one day be
All the feelings of
Being alive
Once again I feed
And
Once again I feel
As long as this fire exists
I will have raison d’etre
As long as I do not forget

But only in the night

For only in the night,
Am I forever young

then all I can say is...hold on to the night...(and thy poets pen)
tis the light in the dark. *S*

We wish ourselves beautiful,
we cry in the night.
Its not the love you fear ...
its the fall from the height.
