WHAT NIGHT BRINGS
By: Katy Zart
The lake’s waves like a pulsating heart
beat constant, cascading,
a backdrop to the chattering night life.
Voices intertwine as one
yet flow away with the waves
finding their own melodic hum.
Drifting through the dark I realize,
nothing compares to sailing
through the perception of song.
For me, nothing surpasses the ease
that evolves under the canopy of a cloudy night.
Rising swells of tidal waves
muted to the tone of a naked seashore.
We know these moments.
They slip by like a rushing current
and we long to swim back
to the beauty of a drink and a song—
the beauty of what night brings.
