Love Poem: Night Light

Night Light

Night Light

Enfold me in your tender loving embrace
     that reaches out from the past with
long arms to keep me near you. 
     Visceral pain combines with physical 
in a continuous loop of uncertainty. 
     I feel as though I am drowning in 
reflective deep waters, opaque with 
     darkness that lingers indefinitely. 

Maybe it is the fullness of Luna 
     controlling my thoughts that spiral 
to the depths of this darkness. 
     As this long night gives way to dawn 
and another day begins, I pray that light 
     will enter to vanquish the darkness 
within, while shadows of remembrance 
     peak and I step into sunray’s warmth.
