Child Of The Night - A Poem

 

 

CHILD OF THE NIGHT

She is the galaxy's daughter

A child of the night,

She rises from beyond black waters

To fly on wings of light

Across the skies.

The sun, who is her father

Arrives daily to warm her fears,

The moon, who is her mother

Comes nightly to dry the tears

In her eyes.

She is a beacon of the universe

Shining high above the thunder,

But she is a wish or a curse

To those who live down under

The clouds.

She is sister to Saturn and Mars

She is white-winged and gleaming,

She is Venus, a fiery-hearted star

And she sits in silence, dreaming

Among the crowds.
