Night Writing

Some poems seem birthed
in storms and darkness, from
tears and pain. Yet others
from the dance between
the sunset and the slowly rising
moon. Do we dare risk the night
like the caterpillar that trusts
to fate and nature, its dark
cocoon? Some mornings
the mist still lingers
and I wonder if you're still there
in your spinning transformation,
a distant silhouette
framed against a sultry summer
sky. I prefer the spring
to summer, its voice breathing
poems into my heart,
born like birds
high above the forest.
