Dark Night Poem by Laurence Overmire

Dark Night

How many of us
Have the courage
To open the door to
The dark side of our nature
Step into mystery
Embrace the paramour of our
Desires, make love in the
Moonlight passion of our
Failings, deep kisses
From fond lips that
Teach us who we are
Letting go at last in the light
of day
The sun warming
The cold bones of sleep
A quiet breeze rippling through
The curtains of the soul.
