Poem #3: Night

O Night
I am drunk in your sweetness
I am drowned in your silence
I breathe in the familiar
I hear the distance
But how can a moment of sadness be so comforting
Why, but in the scent of hyacinth
Savored by two
Or the falling of rain
That brings me close to you
O Night
Can you be the start of day
That calls on the sun to light my life
Are you coming closer
Do you envelope me with your darkness
Or do I embrace you with a smile
Because
You must be lonely too.
