Night

Night is my time When light dissipates Into matte darkness Of endless dusk My psyche awakens And starts roaming Barren landscape of The dark side of the moon Staring at the horizon of milky way Spread over the sky Searching for mysteries That are hidden away In woven ethereal patterns Repeating itself like ripples In the living water circles Touched by invisible hand Of lonely creator I follow my insatiable drive To catch the escaping edge Of Ariadne's thread That becomes visible Only at night In full moons’ shine And disappears in days’ light I escape the prison every night Of my earthly existence Locked in the limits of day With light that makes things Look flat and plain When high noon hits the sky Only at night I feel That the illusion of clarity Of bright sunny day Locks my sight in delusion That I am whole and safe Only at night the depth Of multi-dimensional world Spinning feverishly around Opens in front of my eyes And I stare in dreamy daze Overwhelmed by fear Into the center of the universe Attracted like a moth to light To the darkness of night
