Guardian of the Night

Guardian of the night

Quickly take your place tonight

Shine amongst the stars so bright

With your soft silvery light

Guide the lost in the darkness’s cold

Keep them in your comforting glow

Shine the path to their home

Or the path they chose to roam

Dance with the stars in the sky

Across the celestial plains, fly!

From there watch the sleeping souls below

And keep them safe, sound and whole

As the star studded sky you tread

Mark every tear that sheds

And show even though you seem alone

You are never ever really on your own

Oh Guardian of the night

Fail not your duty tonight!

To maintain hope in darkness as the earth turns

And the sun once more returns

Teasing Rain

I hear the wind calling The skies look quite grey The world is growing quieter I think it’ll rain today

The bell chimes are ringing The air has grown cool The sky is darkening And the afternoon too

Surely the rain must be coming Surely it’s moments away Soon I shall hear rain drops falling Like drums beating away

But no, the day passes into night And gone is the cool air The skies went from grey to black But not a drop was there!

Oh it was just teasing me The dear old weather Well, it will rain sometime So I guess it doesn’t matter

The Mystery of the Night

Ah well now it is strange indeed

The mysteries of the night

The light turns to darkness

And the darkness turns to light

There is no frenzy there is no buzz

Things are warm and cozy

And everywhere little children

Wait for a bedtime story

People retreat indoors

There is no need to be out

Stay out too long and others wonder

What mischief you are about

The night brings suspicisions 

As much as it brings rest

The darkness ever blinds our eyes

Putting sight to the test

The air grows quieter

Things start to still

And in the sky the stars twinkle

As they forever will

It is a fog indeed the night

Through which I cannot see

Beyond the ending of a day

Another yet to be
