AND THE NIGHT
AND THE NIGHT
? Farouk Asvat
More and more
There is less and less.
And the night
Keeps tossing and turning.
And the pain.
The persistent pain
That comes knocking on my chest
And the waves.
The persistent waves
That come to soothe my heart
And the wind.
The terrible wind
That comes full of tragedy
And laughter
And the night
Keeps turning and tossing
And clouds keep unveiling the moon
Shy and tender as ever
And the night keeps singing
And the wind keeps stirring
The leaves of the night
And the sea keeps rushing
The night to end
But do not go
Do not go my love
Stay
Stay while the night is persistent
And men in uniforms
Keep coming and going
And men with bloody knives
Keep going and coming
With cold eyes
And the night
Keeps turning and tossing
And the wind keeps roaring
And the sea keeps rushing
And the pain keeps coming
And you
Keep coming and going
Like the night
And the wind
And the sea
And the pain
So come my love
Walk with me
Walk awhile
For I have wandered
And who knows tomorrow:
Friends change like seasons
And the night keeps sighing
And graves keep hearing our voices
And my heart
Keeps beating and beating
To the rhythm of the night
