"Night Calls"

Awake, I hear
Asleep, I see
the glorious sight of night,
dropped by the gods.

In night I see terror,
In night I hear fear.
Regardless of color,
I see it all clear.

I want to become part,
I want to join full.
I'm eager to start,
completing my soul.

How longer I must wait.
Dragged down by the pain.
My request I now state.
Hear me, else I complain.

I grasp the new life.
I want it all changed.
Sharp as a knife,
yet warm, sweet, and strange.

I take thy nector,
I drink my fill.
I, as a spectre,
have lots of time to kill.
