You That In The Night Poem by Emmanuel George Cefai

o you that in the night
last night
walked with closed eyes
went to the edge of the
old ancient bastions
then
hearing the rustling might
of the sea-waves
you opened your eyes
conscious
you saw the waves
the edge
the wall of the bastions
and you
drew back.
come out, you sleepers,
there is one who is alone
there is one who needs help
there's only dark and night
with stars and moon
now
dawn sleeps far off hidden
