My Secret Ritual...

I undress at night

When the silence is still,

and the rays of the
Transparent Moonlight
Penetrate the complexity
of the night.

In the shadows I am comfortable

I am not afraid that
something will devour my essence.

In the Shadows I am comfortable

They address me as an
acceptable character.
I emerge from my costume,

Peel back the camouflaged mask,

and lay back my garments of
First Impressions
Inside my sacred sanctuary.

I express my true identity that is
Crafted, molded, into

my sculpture of Life's experience.
I breathe the breath of life.
As I lay back and listen...

Listening to the movement in the still night.

I begin to fall into my paradise,
as though they were the dreams of the day.

Sunrise will come soon....
I'll have to get dressed in the morning.
It’s a pity that I only get to
Undress at night.
