tender is the night

tender is the night

embracing our soul

with its gentle velvet blush

whispering comfort

in the hush of dark

as beams of light

penetrate the heavens

celestial spirits sing a song

to the soul who is still enough

to listen

magic is sensed within the quiet

as the velvety blush of night

opens up its secrets

cancel out the noise

let your mind go

dropping all of its worries

into the pool of forgetting

open the pores of your skin

to the refreshing cool

of the night air

be at rest

safe inside your skin

feel your soul

tenderly held

within the loving embrace

of evening’s gentleness
