Waiting for the sunrise Reminded me of my innocent wish
In the pleasant silence of the night
I took a ride with my wish
To the top of a fresh green hill
Surrounded by the twilight and silence of the night
I found myself lying down on the grass and facing the sky
The rising moon was at its fullest
The addition of the beauty was with the sparkling stars
The cold air breeze
Embraced my skin so deeply
I felt it in my heart
And sensation poured out of my eyes
Was the twilight what I waited for so long?
No sound heard
No existence felt, but Yes
The twilight everywhere
Yes I could feel my wish so close
Yes I could feel the night
Yes I could spend hours on this thought
But
The soft spoken sunrise brought me back from my innocent wish with a golden morning greeting. . .

Apollo and the Muses
The beauty of the night
The stillness
The darkness
The quietness
The beauty of the silence
The beauty of the night
No one here except you
Wherever I look I see you I feel you
Wherever
The silence of the night
You are there always
As if, waiting for me
I am there waiting for you
In the beauty of the night
Everything is so radiant
So still
So quiet
And, I feel your presence
In the darkness
When my soul cries out for you
Reach u somehow
In the beauty of the night
You like beauty
Because you are the most beautiful
What eyes cannot see
White radiance
Beauty that is unimaginable
Indescribable
Words that can only fail
Such pure radiance
Such pure light
Such soothing light
Unimaginable
What eyes cannot see
The beauty
The beauty
Only the heart can feel
Only the heart can feel
What could not be contained in the universes far and beyond
The magnificence
The sheer grandeur
The awesome presence
Above all
Contain the universes in the palm of your hand
The sheer awesomeness
The grandeur
Nothing can contain you
You contain every thing
In the palm of your hand
Nothing is above you
Below you
Everything is part of you
I alone in the universe
All alone
Nothing besides you
Nothing at all
The stillness of the night
The beauty of the night
The darkness
Only the heart can contain you
What the might heavens and the skies
And the far galaxies could not contain
Only the heart can only my heart can contain you
It is nothing but full now
Of the beauty that is you
The tranquility that only you can possible provide
Nothing else but you
How I long to be in your presence
Nothing else do I desire
Nothing else only you
Your beauty
Your sheer magnificence
The white soothing light
The radiance
How much do I love you
Indescribable in words
Unimaginable
But can only feel
The heart feels
Only the heart feels
That is the beauty of it all
I feel your presence
When the mind fails the heart can perceive
The beauty of the night
The stillness
The darkness
The quietness
You and me
That is all just you and me
And, the beauty of the night
The stillness
And the quietness
The beauty of the night
The peace
The heart at peace
So very still
So quiet
So beautiful
The beauty of the night
The beauty of the night
Only if others could understand
The beauty of your presence
The beauty of the night
"PEACE
NOT WAR
GENEROSITY
NOT GREED
EMPATHY
NOT HATE
CREATIVITY
NOT DESTRUCTION
EVERYBODY
NOT JUST US"
