The night calls in my blood.
Morning beauty and sun-sparkles
Are nothing but illusion,
Nothing but reflections in a blank mirror.
It is the night that holds me captive
And spins a web of fantasy
Around my silver soul.

Seconds of daylight
Pour unnoticed, grains of sand
That flow into the hourglass,
Counting away the light filled moments
Until the blessed release
Of the exquisite moonrise;
When the sky is filled with
Starlight-lace and
Secretive moonlit shadows.

When the sun throws away
Her hold over the waking world,
I wander in the night.
The shadows dance at my footsteps,
The stars draw my destiny overhead,
My friend the moon
Watches over me
And holds me safe.
I am a child of the moon
Spawn of the night sky and
Deeply shadowed earth.
The night calls in my blood.

As the rain falls
Under the sky of obsidian glass,
I look to the veiled stars
And dance with the night.
Every shadow I create,
Every shimmering star
Twirls to my movement.
In the dance of the darkness
And the touch of the rain
I am whole.
I am a child of the night,
The night calls quietly in my blood.
