Midnight Prayer Poem by Alexandra Yeboah

Clouds swim in midnight blanket
caressing the moon's round entity
bathed in silver glow.
The stars dance nearby
to the sweet melody of
the heavens.

Angels play harp on their wings
sing soft words of love
twinkle in the night
the owls' bass supplements
their ethereal chorus.

On my knees
I breathe a prayer,
the night's activity
assures me of
his presence.

I see him winking in the night,
his voice is what I hear
calling to me,
his whispers tease my ear.

As I lie down to sleep,
he covers me in the folds
of his wings,
keeping me hidden from evil.
