    Poem Commentary

    After midnight, when the lights go out. The keepers of the night cast their shadows upon an unsuspecting world. Once again Regina 2 and I have teamed up to bring you glimpse into the twilight zone.

    Keepers Of The Night

     We come alive after light
    As others sleep and dream
    We are the keepers of the night
    Nocturnal much like wolves
    Or cats that hunt after dark
    We keep vigil over each other
    Protecting our pack from intruders
    Offering comfort on lonely nights
    In the restless hours before the dawn
    While peaceful slumber eludes us
    We share the stories of our broken hearts
    And relive our shattered dreams
    Through the frosted window of our minds
    We look back on a simplier time
    When innocense unmolested
    Was the cornerstone of our youth
    As colors light the morning sky
    We yearn for restful sleep
    Another night we have shared
    Between our lonely hearts

    The true philosopher and the true poet are one, and a beauty, which is truth, and a truth, which is beauty, is the aim of both.

    Ralph Waldo Emerson, American Poet (1803-1882)
