TIDES OF THE NIGHT


Thoughts of memories
 flutter in the breeze
 as cool winds blow
 through the window,
pulling them from the past.


Leading them into
 the foyers of the mind,
 where they may reside,
 for a time,
while I lay on my bed.

Coming and going
 like the movement of the curtains,
sighing upon the
whisperings of the wind,
like the grains of long stalks of grass, rustling,
These are the tides of the night.

Was going to put in the words "in the dark" in the 2nd last line, but resisted. Didn't want to spoil it.
