last night i was lured outside

Last night I was lured outside. By the whispers of the night. Right outside my window. Beckoning me. Drawing me closer. I opened my door and stepped into the darkness. She wrapped herself around me and whispered gently in my ear. Tears began to flow like gentle rain pouring from a leaf. There I was, outside, in the thick of it all. A symphony of sounds enveloped my ears and I couldn't do anything but listen. I delighted in the lush melodies that flowed through me. Filled me. So much that I almost couldn't take it. Holding it all inside. For a moment. My breath paused. Until I remembered to exhale. And inhale with darkness wrapped around me. Her enchanting rhythm flowing, pulsing through me. Moving me. In my stillness. Filling me up. Emptying out. I stood. In her stillness. Prana and nature moving me. To tears. In the darkness of the night.
