At Night
The blanket of the night covers us, conceals us, hides our deepest secrets. It doesn't show us who we are, or try to be, but rather, who we wish to become. It shows us our dearest dreams.
It shows us stars that are always there, even if others are not. During the day, the world feels so small, everyone thinking that their problems are bigger than the next. But, at night, the world expands to galaxies far beyond our travel. It shows us that there actually are things out there bigger than our egos.
At night, just around midnight, beginning of the new, end of the old, when the world is calm, the house is sleeping, and I am blissfully aware of every creak of the stairs, and rustle of the bushes.
At night, where I thank the higher powers for getting me through yet another hectic day. I sit outside, and watch the world at its slumber. I gaze at the blazing balls of gases, thousands of miles away, and yet, still so bright. I trace the ancient shapes in the sky, and whisper a loud, "Gemini, Leo, Virgo, Cancer…" They become real to me as I recall their histories, their stories forever told, and passed down from generation to generation, captivating lives, and hearts among us.
At night, where I replace this reality with my heart's desires. I rewind, and replay the events, and actions that have occurred through out my day. I realize how much I missed the night, and its comforting sanctuary of darkness.
At night, no one judges you, and that moon is your best friend, alit like a personal beacon of hope, encourages you to get through your toughest times, as it is in itself, a light in the seeming everlasting dark. Lady Luna shines her beam on you, and you, and you smile, as if she shines just for you. That is simply enough to give you strength to get through the next
earth shattering day.
As we grow older, appearances change, our height shoots up, and we become less ignorant to the world. Things change, they always change, its just human nature, no one is the same forever.
But, when the sun goes down, and the moon makes her grand reappearance, escorted of course, by her lovely gems of the night, you know that it will always be, it will never stray. Hasn't for the last few millennia, will not now.
Nox will always be there to carry you on.
Its natural.
Its home.
Its what occurs at night.
