POEM STARTER
Mysteries of the Night
Whether something natural and beautiful like the stars, or something more sinister, write a poem that focuses on things that are most prominent at night.
centered.
the dream is an echo of your inner light -
the sounds you absorb;
the sights that wound your heart;
the touch of your skin against mine;
the taste of warmth on your tongue;
i gather these in darkness, and wander on.
the night is an anchor for your soul -
the moon, it lights your path;
the stars, something concrete to send your dreams;
the breeze, spilling carbon all over the universe, waiting for one mind to grasp, one heart to hold.
i welcome the wiles of my eternal surrender.
