Insomniac in love

The night drapes over the Earth's shoulders

a thick, velveteen, ebony sky

Studded sparsely with sparkling diamonds

And a beautiful gem to behold!

A silver crescent at the center

Pouring light upon the Earth

The night has a certain ineffable beauty

A shadowy mystique

An enigmatic charm all its own

Perhaps the mystery of the night is what gives it such potent allure

One never has to wear a mask when already wrapped in darkness

Shadows dance against dimly lit walls

Having the time of their lives in this time of unknown

This time when there are no reservations

And characters are alive and thriving unrestrained

This short time when all possibilities are attainable

because you can be anything

Most choose to be themselves

To shed the mask of daylight and release the truth

Boldly people's reputations are tossed into the sunsets

 The past does not matter beneath the moon beams

The future of inevitable daylight is hidden in the darkness

People are truest when shrouded in shadow

Their decadently jeweled masks removed with the stars

When no one can see

reality is more visible than ever
