Come and stay

Come and stay with me awhile
On this calm night
In this cool place
This quiet hour
The world has turned again
And all things for a moment
Seem in their place.
The purple light will touch
Your face and mine
While Time is still
While crickets chirp
Their evening song
While birds sing their
Goodnights.
How I long for you
In this peaceful dream of light,
On this loveliest of nights
Time will show us kindness
As we drink the breath of moments,
As we taste the sweet of life.
