***Night Bird***
***
*How night descends, enveloping us in its great sacred wings, 
with the promise of a deeper silence than day dared to offer
Now, if only we can endure this tremendous stillness
we might still be restored to ourselves, once again
Tread lightly, cover the smiling mirrors and sullen screens
don't let any spirit escape through the 1,001 trap doors* 

*Listen, those are your own footsteps you hear approaching*

*Don't look around, or move much, enemies of the holy hush 
crouch nearby, ready to pounce. They want your attention 
in pieces, smashed like a porcelain vase. The quiet majesty 
of your mounting wholeness disturbs them more than anything else 
Try, try with all your might, to make it last the night. As you tremble
and sweat, remember this triumph next time you forsake your oaths.*

Good stuff, remind me of a dream I had once;

*Try to stretch out but can’t be reached
Try to grasp but it slips through 
Try to think but  it collapses*

*Darkness engulfs 
All vision and sound* 

*The heavy vibration of eternity
The formlessness of Infinity*

*The void and self 
Are one and same*

P.S. the Image of Nut: Egyptian Goddes is a perfect touch!

Thank you, my friend. I’m fond of image, too, and how she/Night envelopes up... ❤️
