Night Light Variations in a Summer of Discontent

The quite ebony night blew its warm teasing breath---

taunting my wet shining sable skin with a faint coolness.

The paused crescent moon struggled with opaque-like clouds

to dispense sojourning light as it trekked across the sky

towards the self fulfillment of its circadian journey.

All around---within the tree cribbed space,

fluttering little arthropods darted about---

flashing bits of light, as if to impart

pieces of truth the diabolical night offers

to those in the search there of: truth---

the light of the contemplating souls of darkness.

In the precinct of the darkness of night, light lurks---

always on patrol---juxtaposed superior twin:

blinking and winking behind guarded shades.

Thus…wherever darkness seeks to go and abide,

she finds companion light luring from the shadows:

welcoming her to coexist in peace, love and truth.

Soon, these cohabitating twins will usher in

another tomorrow.  May God not forget us---

so enlighten us---that we continue to strive to build

a new world order---reflecting peace, love and justice.
