Beautiful
is the night.
No Shinning moon.
to lead the way.
No shades
of grey.
Far into the
depths of black.
Black as the beetle
beetle crawling,
upon the ground.
Black as the spider
weaving her webb.
The air turning cold.
with wisps of wind;
The night sounds begin.
A long time will pass
before the light will come,
Never to appear for some.
Alive is the night
in a sea of awareness.

The Old Man
or A Peaceful Finality
The old man
loved everything the saw and touched;
each blade of grass,
every piece of wood.
He stood in
no one's way.
What sorrow or pain
he may have held from the past,
His face did not show.
For to portray his intense pain
would be like revealing himself
to the entire world once again.
He seemed to only embrace
a positive energy;
One of the satisfactions,
patience and wisdom.
He sat on his porch
In a swing low and easy.
Now and then
he would smoke a a pipe
and stroke his
tired gray collie.
His thoughtful daughter,
Would sometimes bring him
herbs and spices.
However, most of the time
he lived alone
and he was corageously happy.
e knew that his time
would soon come to an end
And he accepted this.
without question.
The old man
now only waited
for a peaceful finality.
