I embrace thee
for the spiritof the night
has released me
to the day
walk along a path
many have before menot of earthen soil
but in time and space
with a soul
of human race
where and how
my destiny unfoldsbut with meager
farthings to behold
until there’s love
within my heart
my soul
my eyes shan’t open
nor rest shall come
I am told
I welcome thee
spirit of the daywhere the foals
in your arms,
the wind, all
come out to play
until the days longings
brush back my hairto lay my head again
upon the lap of night
I shall not rest
until my heart, my soul
hath given thee
all that I must
dear salient daylight
