*I got out my guitar yesterday, and what do you know? An old song I wrote as a teenager jumped in and took over. I’m sharing it below, a reminder that even darkness has its purpose. I’d love to hear your thoughts, and wish you sweetness always.*
Night
by Joan Myles
Night spreads its dark flowing cape
O’er the landscape that once was day
And its cool winds sift through the trees
to gently ease my cares away
Stars climb up ladders of light
to fill the night with shining streams
and the day’s pain slowly subsides
While my soul abides within my dreams
and night sings its lullabye through the hills
hush my child for all is still
there always will
be a new sun after each moon
another tune that you can learn
and if day fails to make you smile
after a while night will return
Jewniquely Myself 
Well said, Joan. All has its purpose, even the darkest and stormiest of nights. Even these days of terror and death, in some ultimate way, have their purpose.

We must be ever on the hunt for meaning, even as we endeavor to discover what it means to be human…or maybe because of it. Love finding you here, dear friend! *sun rising over mountains**children dancing*
Joan, I didn’t know you could play the guitar. You should record yourself playing and singing this song and post it here. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for your kind words, Abbie. I appreciate your feedback and encouragement. *open night sky**dancing cedars*
Really like it. Profound thoughts.
Thank you, my darling Joanne…you may even have heard it before during those late night guitar/singing sessions at Maryville. *smiling heart*
Well, I’ve learned something new. I had no idea you played the guitar.
🙂
Wonderful!
A little mystery is a good thing…*winking smile*
Yes, it is.
