.. In The Still Of The Night... a poem by Howard Brace

Secure the night from the shadow
draw back the sheets from the bed
douse the flickering candle
there's a pillow of dreams for your head.

In the still of the night, in the darkness
in the hollowed out space, there within
lay your presence of nearness, beside me
as the onset of night begins.

Where through the night in this haven
you're the stars that shine in my sky
in peace, there you lay, safe and treasured
as the hours until dawn pass by.
