Ah, Treasured Night!
In the beginnings and the endings you cradle us, your children
Nourishing, Reaffirming
In your darkness true life takes root and springs forth
With infinite possibility stemming from the living cosmos

Beloved Night!
Not bright and heated, rather cool, silvery essence descending
Upon our consciousness, stirring our most basic and primal selves
Deep with infinite space and possibility you settle about us
Enshrouding the core of our being with your dusk beauty

Oh Night!
We dance within your embrace
Closely to our breasts we hold your gifts of power and wonder
Bedecked in soft mists we linger in your company
Seeking and yearning for the mysteries you promise

Dearest Night!
Your radiance is not dampened by a shaded complexion
Instead it pulses with the beat of a drum
Inspiring our feet and hearts to dance
To move and sway with the rhythm of your song

Sweet Night!
How you breathe life within our minds and bodies
Not to lie in complacency upon a lonely bed
But to rise, buoyed by your luminous fervor
Drenched in limitless infinity

Ah Night!
In the beginning and in the endings you cradle us, your children
Protecting, Loving
And as we slow to the pulse of the earth and dawn approaches, you leave us
your gifts:
A kiss, an embrace, and the promise of a dance when once again the darkness
falls.
