into the arms of night

Embrace the evening, let it wrap you
in its gentle whisper, softly gilding
each breath towards a tranquil rest.

Welcome the night, with open heart,
accept its peace, its quiet song,
for life's dance needs both shadow and light.

Surrender, not in defeat, but in grace,
allowing the natural flow of time
to cradle your spirit with tender hands.

The stars don’t resist their twilight,
nor does the moon fight its fade.

In the stillness of this night,
find a beauty in release,
the serenity of surrender,
as the world pauses to breathe.

Bathe in the calm of dusk,
the soft embrace of nightfall,
and let go, with gentle acceptance,
into the welcoming arms of sleep.
