Night

"...

Like a finely woven shawl,

night enfolds the world

in the interval between

dusk and dawn.

Bringing silence, healing

and a cool hiatus

from the sun’s burning

heat and light.

Night evokes the

restorative darkness

and repose,

the veiling of

sunlike consciousness

that follows upon the

tumultuous splendour

and striving

of the day.
