Night: Painting of the Soul

Victoria Krylova

December 1, 2016

Department: Poetry

Soft
Dancing
Dreams
Deeper than the ocean;
The taste of twilight,
Carried in the wind

Call of the mockingbird,
The screech of an owl,
Hail many Creatures of Light:
In the glow of the pale moonshine,
With a rustle of angel wings
Misery drowns, hope awakens
Love abides without restraint.
