Acquainted with the night

Ok, I know this isn’t one of my own, but it is just so incredible… There’s also a video at the end where you can hear it spoken with some kind of visual aid – so incredible.

 

Acquainted with the Night by: Robert Frost

I have been one acquainted with the night. I have walked out in rain — and back in rain. I have outwalked the furthest city light. I have looked down the saddest city lane. I have passed by the watchman on his beat And dropped my eyes, unwilling to explain. I have stood still and stopped the sound of feet When far away an interrupted cry Came over houses from another street, But not to call me back or say good-bye; And further still at an unearthly height, O luminary clock against the sky Proclaimed the time was neither wrong nor right. I have been one acquainted with the night.

don’t worry my friend,

love will make you beautiful.

forget what was said and just hear my voice in the dark.

then you will see as they will

your new found grace and presence in this place

please ducky, i promise to you this day

the things we share

will be love, its first and last,

eternally blossoming and ever beautiful;

- just follow me awhile.
