When night shrouded me br In that visible darkness br I heard the sun dipping br Down into the sea br The invisible rivers silently flowed br Into their final confluence br br In that silence of night br There I heard a melody br Flowing from the moon br Arising out of the sea... br br A distant melody it was br From the invisible singer br br A strange melody it was br Of despair and hope br Of departures and arrivals br Of sorrows and smiles br br I clung to the night's blanket br And waited... br br 23 Aug 2011 br 23.
