Beyond the Ebb
And flow.
Metaphoric whispers
free fall from the sky
perched upon the evening star
The light leaves with a sigh.
Venus, the star of love
emits her cosmic glow
calling all together
Beyond the ebb and flow.
The shadow’s gentle cover
holds secrets never told
the world is calm at nighttime
cool, clear and also cold
Horizons blend with the darkness
the moon is yet to rise
faint stars begin to sparkle
As blackness drapes the skies.
The evening star is peeping.
then walks in through my door
into my mind and my soul
And my very core.
The quiet night cools and captures
the daytime noise and trill
gently reorganising
Heat into the nighttime chill.
Metamorphic transformation
sparkles before my eyes
the evening star is calling
she is cloaked in her saintly disguise.
Forget the faint tomorrow.
or burnt-out yesterdays
the evening star is lilting
In awe of outer-worldly ways.
