Dark Nights Poem by Jennifer Birchall

Dark Nights

Rating: 4.9


Nights draw in dark
As do my thoughts
Dampened by rain filled days
That seem endless

The silence of the night
Stirs thoughts in my mind
A still unease settles
Late in the early hours

A light to my soul
The moon a beacon
Guiding thoughts of dreams
Nightmares to be explored or
even explained

Guiding light almost angelic
Eases heart, eases soul
A comforting touch found
In such illumination

I'm disappointed that as your co author you didn't ask me. Same old modus operandi hey! Perhaps, another anthology self published at a complete loss?
