Sliver of Night



It only takes a drop or two; 
a dab of silver and gray to highlight the sky, 
and my mind is illuminated with poetic lines 

A curtain, a blanket, No! 
Only a sliver of night and I am made 
fully alive by the sounds of a howling moon 

I pray for highlighted clouds 
to make the rhymes aloud, then lull me to sleep~ 
the sleep of midnight’s eternity
