NIGHT CROSSINGS

As the light of day surrenders to the dark of night
An eerie silence settles separating night from day
The shadows thicken into a pool of pitch-blackness
And the beast in all men roams forth
Most are lost in a closed eye state of slumber
Others are trapped in the horror of self-made nightmare
But I float on the waves that mark the night's wind
For I am made buoyant by an emotional mind molding sound
It bathes me and guides my nights crossings
Each trip is unique though the response of a single source
It is this source of sound I wish to praise
For it guarantees my safety from the shores of night
And promises tomorrow will be a better day
It's the pounding of my heart that shows the way

Author's Note

I leave most punctuation to the reader that they can read the poem in their own meter, mood and motility. I thank you for taking the time to read my work.

Hi, I always like to read the writers first post in here, and I want to tell you that you have a great idea about the punctuation, I really loved that. I also noticed your variant vocabulary, most writers sound the same in their poems because I've seen those same words arranged differently in another poem, but this poem has good originality.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your thoughts. Poetry has been a hobby of mine for five decades and it gets difficult to not use the same phrasing a time or two so originality is not always easy. I hope I was able to entertain you while you were here and I shall gladly return the read and review favor soon :~)
