Night

Photograph by Gypsie-Ami Offenbacher-Ferris

Night envelope me
into the darkness of
your inky blackness

Force away the pain
endured during
the days of wakefulness

Cruel you are
to deprive me of dreams
sweet and free of agony

The hour is only
barely past midnight
and still I walk the halls

Sleep beckons and I fall
into its mesmerizing state
while standing on two feet

When to the bed I take
I stay awake until dawn washes through my window and I sleep
