Night's Reflections (Thoughts Of A Star Being)
by Alison Stormwolf

In that exquisite stillness
Of the deep night
in star-rich canopy on slated roof.
Beneath, in darkness, there I lie
attended by my thoughts...
And in the blackness, consider all
Yes, all my nights
In this dark hall.

Meditate on breathing,
Out and in
encased within this mortal skin.

I must not stall.

Tomorrow arrives at my door, unbidden.
Wrapped in velvet,
Sheathed in lace.... or dirt
I help her in,
No matter her attire
My inner thoughts....
Once dark and hidden,
Are subject to the light once more.
