When Night Meets Peace

Night settles

gently over

the silver

and blue

sleeping earth

As quiet hands

draw the

last light

into the

sky

Her presence barely

visible

for she is

the Midnight

Peace Enchantress

Moonlight gathers

upon the surface

of still

and sleeping

waters

Until they shimmer

like whispered

prayers drifting

through twilight

The darkness curls

around her shoulders

like soft

silken

wings

While hidden stars

awaken quietly

inside the velvet

night

Each star carries

a secret peace

never spoken

aloud

Delivering it

to dreamers sleeping

beneath quiet

silver

skies

Her long veil

woven from moonlight

and fading

starlight

Flows behind her

like a river

of sapphire

and pearl

And all who wander

into her night

leave carrying

a quieter

heart.
