Friendly Night
Keep from the streetlight
Least you are seen more clearly,
Learn to fade with night.

Hide when sun is bright,
Then in dark rest the weary
Away from all sight.

Hide not from the fright
But to hold yourself dearly
From truth searcher’s blight,

Those not knowing night,
Think it is all dark scary
And keep to the light

Edge ‘tween dark and light
Let shadows keep eyes blurry,
To dark walls hug tight.

Be a dark walker not one in the bright,
Keep hidden in shadows soul and body,
Let not either be held up to the light,
The weak of day fear the walkers of night.
