Thick and warm, midnight <br />Admonishes souls <br />With tight reins. <br /> <br />Lengthening minutes with strings <br />Of silence, ringing <br />In lonesome ears.......... goals <br />Met, then dissolved in thick mist <br />By such things as......... <br />Lonliness, ...... heavy as lead, <br />And yoked tight around <br />My heart, blankets hope. <br /> <br />The scale weighted........... <br />With tears, <br />Sends burden of boundless <br />Steel netting to snare more hours, <br />Until the late night strikes fear <br />Of the future................. <br />Into my poor waiting heart. <br /> <br />But you send before dawn <br />Curtains of love, descending <br />Like rainbows.......... to loosen <br />Dark's hold, and pressure <br />Departs as the sun rises. <br /> <br />I then am reminded of your......... <br />Patient love. <br />Heavy is only at night.<br /><br />Fay Slimm<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/night-hangs-heavy/
