SERENITY



SERENITY
Serenity, do not come on a night like this
when the shadows are not shadows but a purple tide of darkness falling like a frost-bite all around. Serenity, do not come like this with a cold fist hidden in a glove. 
Your icy embrace makes me freeze. Serenity, do not come like this with a moon staring down  like a strange visitor to a silent town.
The shaft of your light falls far across the weird sea, bringing to light a world hitherto sleeping and now awakening to an ascent of the spirit.
Serenity, your shaft of light pierces the heart of the night and your incision is exact and deep.
I can neither wail nor bleed; I weep silently.
