Night vision

narrative verse

 

Night visions

 

I do not fear the dark,my eyes

 adjust so   that I can see.

 The beauties which would otherwise

be hidden by the night from me .

 

To walk abroad alone by night

 seems only natural to me

Quite different from brighter light

 the sun provides consistently.

 

It is a different world by night

 the garish colours of the day.

Have been replaced by black and white

as beautiful in their own way.

 

As anything you see by day

The muted colours softening

 harsh outlines in a subtle way

Moving shadows intertwining.

 

Produce in me serenity

 A mood the quietness inspires

I stroll enwrapped in reverie

 as often as my heart desires

 

I can look back nostalgically

 recalling how thing used to be

 or look ahead and try to see

what the future holds for me.

 

 I see the darkness as a friend

 For me it holds no mystery

 I know for sure I can depend

 upon the quiet night to be.

 

A time when I can meditate

 and view my world quite differently.

 Which will let me appreciate

 all of the beauty which I see.

 

Although some people fear the night

and find the silence frightening.

To walk by night is my delight

I find the quietness  so soothing.

Might I suggest lightening in lieu of soothing? Apart from that it's your usual unusual expertise
