A Night so Bright

A starry, moonlit night,
A silvery glistening light,
A cool, fragrant breeze,
A silent whisper from the trees.

A distant call from the waves,
A hollow wail from the caves,
The night bird flies around in silence,
And a heart beats amidst the stillness.

The silence rings out loud in my ears,
The heart thinks of my qualms and fears,
The heart lets out a soft, painful moan,
A numb, gloomy sense of being all alone.

A sudden warmth spreads to the fingers,
A featherly lightness flows across the chest,
Even darkest moonless nights seem so bright,
The eye falls open to marvels, beauty and light.

A soft voice speaks in my mind,
Leave the unwanted past behind,
Because after every dark night,
Comes a morning sunny and bright.
