Night's whispers

Here we are, in this moment
Together, yet separate
The sun has gone down
The midnight sky
Stretches between us
Like a black cable of longing
Stretched taut in the darkness

This instant, this minute,
Of the night,
Like flower petals,
Destined to perish,
Is suddenly filled with
Infinite, deathless, breathless, life
As if it's whispering in my ears
Something I ought to know
