for Nosheen Irfan
You know the Night contains
all of your dreams. She gathers
them into a place of safety,
where they curl together
with other dreams and bide
their time. A thick hedge
of sleeping vines and
wide-awake roses hides them
from nightmares. The steady red
gaze of owls watches over them,
and the moon spreads her serene
glow over their readiness.
The Night gives a signal
only one dream knows, that dream
rises and enters your sleeping
mind, soothing, rewarding,
refreshing it. Then the dream returns
unerringly to its dream chamber.
You know our minds only borrow
this delight from the generosity
of the Night. What apt response
can we make but to love the Night?
Thank u so much Daniel, i'm so honored. That's such a wonderful piece, rich in imagery n full of hope despite the dark. I also love the notes at the end, they explain so well. Night n dreams, two of my favorite topics. You have integrated them so well. One complements the other. Without one, the other is incomplete. Night is dark, but there's a compensation in the form of dreams. A splendid write that unravels the mystery of night realm in an enchanting manner and delights the reader no end. I'm truly fascinated. A super 10.
