The Night Will End: A Poem
April 17, 2020
Let my words cover your eyes
with blushing roses so that it may
drip to your skin and make it flush
with joy and utter beauty.
Continue to dream of blissful days
and calming nights until it seeps into
your world that has become so
blackened from everyone’s nightmares.
These issues will soon slide off of the
minute and hour hands that seem
to never no where they are going,
nor know where they have been—it will
all drift into the sea and bury beneath the
ocean floor where all troubles of the past
find their resting place.
This is a strong, yet fleeting moment, my dear,
so please wipe away your seemingly ceaseless tears
so that you may see into the coming years.
Here there is merriment that warms the place
between the palms of our holding hands.
Here you will find my smile once again and
feel the soft air of our laughter becoming one.
Here is a new home made beautiful for you.
Just wait a little longer, my dear friend,
wait for these days knowing they are soon to come.
