In the night

It is a wonder how

in time of lightlessness

faces alter their expressions

Thoughts, come to be

nomads, free of charge

roaming amidst the landscape

of our memory

Desires can erupt , expire

in a single gasp of breath

Anguish , abandonment

warm bed – relieves

in gesture of compensation

Tears dissolve in a wave

of abating tide ,

yesterday’s transgressions

seem so unimportant

as time runs out of atonement

The heartache of hope envelopes us

until morning suns embrace

It is amazing how

in the dead of night we are still

only transient beings of life
