* the music of the night

night time sharpens, heightens each sensation
darkness wakes and stirs your imagination
silently the senses abandon their defences
helpless to resist the notes i write
for i compose the music of the night

slowly, gently, night unfurls its splendour
feel it, sense it, tremulous and tender
hearing is believing, music is deceiving
hard as thunder, soft as candle light
the power of the music of the night..
