I Am the Night The darkness, It flows though me I cover all once seen when I brush the world with the colors of my realm I am black and deep purple hues You may only glimpse me during the day In the edge of a shadow I wait for sunset where my Colors reign when evening departs Extend your arm and look for my path I am the tributaries of purple-blue That trail down your arms I am inside you In the dark of night Children and their kittens gather strength in somnolence The shades of daytime end with the sky on fire Mixing hues of sunset yellow with the Impending passion of black I am the night where you find the rhythm of dance My night is a story of romance beginning or Ending with coverlets brushed aside In a lovers whisper, or a passionate breath drawn I am the night that brings your lover to you The night takes you to dream Holding your hand in the unlit path I am beside you. ~Willemshakespeare~
