In the Golden Night

The trees dance

The owls fly

The bats crawl

The wind howls

The fireflies glow

The ground grows

The sky turns cold...

I turn the 'OPEN' sign over. Another day in the DMV. I get in earlier than Tholm, which is unusual. He comes in, panting. Claims something crazy just happened.

Eh. I don't really care anymore. It's only a year or two until I can get into art college, where I might have a bit more imagination. But here? Eh.

"No, really, it really happened!" says Tholm, "Eveything, was, like, glowing!" he says.

Gold is more than a precious metal

It’s a feeling, the one when the dust settles

And the victory is yours

It’s relief that you’ve won, and the battle is done

It’s an emotion of wonder

That comes when you discover

A treasure, physical or other

Gold is a color

Unlike any other

One of prestige and of merit to behold

The best of the best

Is what it represents

In any form, hot liquid or hard and ...

The stars shine.

If Ward was with her in this moment, he would say that it wouldn’t compare to her Starshine.

Though she doesn’t think he’s ever seen a Wild Thicket sky. So clear and natural. Magical even.

“Nova?”

She turns her head towards Haze who is similarly laying on her back just staring at the night through the gaps of the trees. “Do you think we are making progress? Do you think what...

It’s a kind of forbidden ache

That’s always followed me

And sometimes I think I know it

But it is wavering and shifting.

Ever changing it grabs me,

Spins me off my feet.

It loves me.

It hates me.

In the golden light you can start to see it

But it leaves me from time to time

And I wonder where it goes when it runs off.

Under the peach tree you can see it

And it is writing letters.

To people who ...

In the golden night

Don’t have fright

Let the moonlight in

Let it show you where to begin

In the golden moon light

Let your soul rest

In the golden moon light

You’ll renew to your best...

Nothing gold can stay, in the golden night

The moon shines with beauty that not even the best poet could capture. It’s white light shines with a luminous glow as it glistens in the sapphire sky making everything around it seem so pure.

The stars twinkling beams shine along with the moon capturing the beauty of the trees in the forest while giving every thing a beautiful golden light.

The tree...

In the golden night, thoughts swirl as the falling leaves, finding me restless in my confinement.

This is not the way I expected this to feel. I thought it would be calm. I thought I would be calm. The mirth saps from my veins as I rest here waiting to breathe again.

How do you sort the molecules bursting from the hydrant? How do you call this rest?

A leaf lands in my hands. I inhale.

I call th...

In the Golden Night I was reading by the light of a Golden Night Sky. I was siting next to a magnolia tree and the smell of that mixed with the salty sea that was close by. You can tell why this is my favorite place.

Suddenly a dog’s or a wolf’s (I couldn’t tell which one it was at that moment) howl split though the silence of the peaceful quiet Golden Night. I quickly hid behind the magnolia tre...

I lay in my empty thoughts, my skin ablaze with curiosities of foreign experiences, my eyes grazed the empty plane that lay before me. For my breath was a tomb for the unforgiving cycle, i dreaded my return to the eternal living. For the blazing warmth’s plaguing the sky brung me no consolation, they too soon sizzled out, a whisper of smoke in a gasping realm.

Fated to be smothered by the ink sta...
