The Night is Coming

1

The night is coming with darkish dreams through
Merry-go-round to the sunshine and day
Into the moon and the blinking star blue
Dark is gathering and wheeling away
Time is turning the tidings and the earth
Afternoon changing to somber through dark
Giving to dreams and their fantasy birth
With tingling heaven in faraway spark
Night is in velvet blue and dark dim skin
Horses of unknown are ridding the dusk
Twilights of thought spinning from within
All is to marvel and nothing to husk
The moon and the dreams are all in beyond
Nowhere but out there - it's now to be found

On and on turning and somewhere to go
Clearing the moments from evenings gone
Silence to dark from the outside now grow
All is chimerical - real thoughts are done
Light is in lonely hidden out hallways
With no more of life's on slamming bar
Only the rain harp to the forest plays
For a faraway glimpsing death star
Resounding through the breezing of air
Thousands and the thousands of sounding claps
Night is fallen into the dark mistress hair
Laying there out her many dreaming traps
On and on in motion never to stay
Like the colors of an ocean in wave play

Love is a dream so quickly gone in ways
With the pain that never stops its ruffling
There's sunlight coming above in the haze
When the shaft begins in spring and muffling
All is a dream from the inside windows
Reflections where my heart never is
How quick in time like sunset afterglows
There are dreams that come like a newer wish
I stand in time with wasted memories
And beneath the sky of the horizon blue
The mist has fussed up the window lees
Against the sprouting of the very new
A sound to sustain a simple structure flower
So sweet inside my head in the new hour
