Night Hangs Heavy.

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