Peace pervades my essence as the cool night soothes my soul
Life is good in a way that purely makes me whole
The darkness above is devoid of strife
It wraps around my own light, the joy that is my life.
I’m calm now as my day melts away
An ache lingers mildly, but otherwise I’m okay
A stretch—a yawn—as this day is almost gone
A breeze reaches out to where I have withdrawn
It weaves a chill that brings my arms in tight
And gives me something to feel
The touch of night that reaches in from space
To remind me what I love about this place
