The Night



The Night
Peace,  this is my world.
No one but me, and my friends.
The stars smile down at me as equals, not superiors.
They accept me as I am and expect no more.
I accept that in the beggining they where here when I was not and that they owe me nothing.
Because of these things there is respect among us.

The Night
Peace,  this is my world.
No one but me, and my friends.
The moon shines even though it has no lights.
It takes what has been given to it by the sun and gives it back to us that respect it.
It has nothing,   but still finds something to give.
We could learn from this, but we don't.
"People want more",  this is the rule they live by.
Why can't we learn to give.
I accept these things and there is respect between the moon and myself.
 
The Night
Peace,  this is my world.
No one but me, and my friends.
The rain comes and I listen to what it says.
There is a sadness in the world, that can't be washed away by hurricanes or storms.
That is why it likes to rain at night.
When all the bad and hatefullness seems to sulk away into the shadows and not be seen.
I share the night with the rain because we see
the same things wrong and there is a friendship between us. There is respect.

The Night
Peace,  this is my world.
No one but me, and my friends.
Tonight my kinsman are howling.
They are talking to the planet and the shadows.
We all see the things arounds us and the wrongs that are done to us and each other.
We ask when the anger and the hatred will end.
We do not know the answer.  But since we share these thoughts and feelings, we are brothers.
And we were taught to respect family.

The Night
Peace,  this is my world.
No one but me, and my friends.
And there is respect in the night.
