Hidden by daytime’s blindfold
Nightly mysteries unfold
Unseen by small, sleeping town
Abyss of darkness won’t drown
Mythical legends stirring
Wind’s voices always purring
Heavy clouds cover moonlight
Twinkling stardust taking flight
Quiet tremors rolling out
Silent breathing’s faithful route
Landscape frozen at midnight
Escape rides with winter’s knight
Forest sentinels stand tall
Every tree shall never fall
Battle raging, nature makes choice
Night after night, peace shares voice
Running out of life’s fructose
Harshest memories now close
Writing danger’s forewarning
All forgotten by morning

Walking alone
Thirsty for love
Only darkness
Spirit above
Christ comes to earth
Love so daring
Gospel’s bright light
Filled with caring
Full of patience
Love now reveals
Finding God’s grace
Divine, yet real
Come, drink deeply
Receiving love
Hope grows through faith
Promised above
From 1 Corinthians 13:13: “And now faith, hope, and love remain, these three, and the greatest of these is love.”
