The Night Poem by Terry Searcy

Darkness surrounds him as he walks through the valley
He does not waiver or fall from his journey
Fatigue over whelms him but he does not slow his pase
The sun is being swallowed by the night but he does not notice
His head is high and his thoughts are clear as his demons attack
His voice bellows though the emptiness and hears no response
As he walks he hears his name echoing through the night
He looks and sees no one and no one sees him
He justifies his existence by his thoughts and keeps walking
He reaches out through the darkness and feels warmth
He listens to the breathing of another and looks confused
The morning slowly reaches him as he rolls over to see his love beside him
He ponders the night and holds his lovers hand in the morning light
The night wonderer is continual and sporadic and he is calmed with the dawn
