Then Came The Night

Then Came The Night

selling my soul to midnight
seeping into my hungering psyche
absorbed in the guile of moonlight
longing to take flight
in the mounting of the sky
the magnolia child in me
once a worshipper of rainy days
gives over to the surrounding ebony
I see the moonbeams touch my skin
and I am now a golden goddess
framed by whispering night
I dance the exotic
with asteroids and meteors
a shooting star I ride
past the milky Way's Delphinus
into another solar system
I see a star wink out
wondering where goes the light
of a once vibrant now dying star
