Why now,
wake me?
The answer
lies before
my eyes.
Crescent moon
in clouds,
yet smile,
your last
my way.
And though,
near dark,
also times’
seeming veil
pulled down.
Yet light
comes from,
even the
dark side,
upon waiting.
So answer
you gave
of me,
to least
expect nothingness.
One cycle,
as we,
now plunge,
into lustrous
black silence.
