A CLEAR MIDNIGHT


A Clear Midnight

This is thy hour O Soul, 
thy free flight into the wordless, 
Away from books, 
away from art, 
the day erased, 
the lesson done, 
Thee fully forth emerging, 
silent, 
gazing, 
pondering the themes
 thou 
lovest best, 
Night, 
sleep, 
death 
and the stars. 

~ Walt Whitman
