Night descends slowly, like understanding,
the great leveling out below–
where land dresses in shadows
and light belongs to those in flight.
Earth dims to darkness
like a faceless conversation;
frozen explosions ascend,
ghosts of prayer and dreams.
Here, I embrace the expanse of you
while a rainbow flattens into gold.
A raving insomniac God is craving rest,
if only creation could pause without ending.
