contemplativeLady of Night
Poem for Day 134 – 20150514
Lady of Night, contrast my day.
In your arms I begin to live.
Open my eyes, chase my judgment,
previously a fool, I am born again.
I trusted my tribe, towed the line.
Now I'm free to find my own way,
destination here by your side,
with nowhere else I'd rather be.
Night and day, my life has changed,
In this place I am remade,
born again, past stripped away.
Lady of Night, disrobe me now,
shed my armor, put it aside.
Draw my breath, my unease removed,
your eyes pools of dark destiny.
You've discovered my humanity,
hidden within too many chains.
These cast aside, left on the ground,
I am yours this time, soul laid bare.
Night and day, my life has changed,
In this place I am remade,
born again, past stripped away.
Lady of Night, turn their heads.
I care not what they have to say.
They look and do not see beauty,
always present, worn with grace and ease.
You are the night, I am the day,
no longer separate as we play,
I am with you, and you with me,
nothing else matters in this place.
Night and day, my life has changed,
In this place I am remade,
born again, past stripped away,
born again, past stripped away.
