The Night Poem by Nicole Middendorf

O, Night,
Thou art a beautiful love song
Calling for his lover,
A song so lost and dreary,
Yet unlike any other.
Thou art a lumionous shadow
Falling in the deep,
O, rest in peace,
Out to yonder seas.
Days hath no sincerity,
For all nights shall hold it all
Locked in secret innocence,
No escape until we fall.
Thou art a broken cast away
Drifting with the tide
Breathing with the ocean
For all of her desires.

-Nicole Middendorf,15, Delano, Minnesota-
