Upon the Midnight


"So quick bright things come to confusion"
- William Shakespeare (A Midsummer's Night Dream)

 
~ Upon the Midnight ~
 
Bewitching hour, misbehavior
the moon no longer acts as savior
noble words and deeds pass on
the knight has sacrificed the pawn
 
where Hope was worshipped
Fate's wings now clipped
instinct to shut down
watch the stars drown

shrouded in darkness
no one to address
not eye to eye
nor soul to sky
 
bewitching hour, misbehavior
the moon no longer acts as savior.

  5. You played that song, at the stroke of midnight. The is the most normal of behavior, at least for those of us who gather here.
