Embrace of the Night: A Musing on Solitude Under Starlight

Written by Miguel Santiago

-

In the cathedral of night, a silent tableau descends,

Glowing through the cosmic veil, the whisper of moonlight,

Tapestries of stars, stitched in the ebony blanket, a celestial lullaby,

Across this grand expanse, we find ourselves cradled in crystal solitude.

-

Alone, yet together, stitched into the fabric of our lonely corners,

A tandem dance with silence echoing within these cavernous hearts.

The resounding hum of solitude whispers a symphony,

Not a lament for the departed sun but an echo of our existence.

-

Midnight ponderings unfurl, serpents coiling in the abyss of thought,

Quantum leaps across abstract spaces where darkness holds no reign.

In this stillness, we thrive; we dive, diving into the deepest wells,

Seeking solace amidst the stars, comfort in our unbraiding shadows.

-

Yet within this dance, a duality exists – a sweet, sincere paradox,

Like ivy, loneliness clings, twisted and intertwining,

Yet it has a melody, a soothing balm, a moon-kissed lullaby,
