Refuge of Night

By: Gus Victoria

Elegant and serene
She waits for me,
The sun oppressive in its light
Is gone in the night,
She in her silvery dress
Of moonlight fair,
Gives to me
Dreams I dare,
Flight away on a ship of name,
Or hidden treasure
I would claim,
She whispers it so
That perhaps it might be,
She whispers to me,
That I might see
A limitless journey
On her inky clouds,
That with the dawn is stolen away
To wither in the sun’s rays,
I, without fail, await
Her return;
My muse,
My refuge,
My love,
She comforts what day torments,
She gives what day takes,
Night, mistress, love
Rise again that I might dine
Under your gentle light,
That I find that refuge you give,
In day I die,
By night I live.
