NOCTURNAL SADNESS
By Roland E. Williams
The nights of old will remember me
For I have left them a long sad legacy
At times they were my sole companions
The moonlight often a silent visitor
Illuminating feelings obscured to all
Even those I had hidden from myself
Each night assuredly longer than before
Today’s feelings freshly buried within
An addition to this legacy of sadness
And with each dark night that passes
Your fear strengthens ever more
That the deepest will be uncovered
