The Nightjar and the Souljar

Slumber on the hearth of twilight.

A silent shadow stretches forth a hand

touching the soul within.

Awake! Awake!

The world shudders and quakes.

Shattered pieces like stars cross the ky.

Alone! Alone!

A single blaze goes speeding, searching for its mate.

The Nightjar and Souljar, no longer bound by fate.

Dawn bursting through shrouds of darkness,

The sleeper, now awake.

Tears flowing freely across time;

healing the shattered pieces.

A home her soul to make.

The Nightjar and the Souljar

one lost and alone upon the void, his mate

waiting on the horizon of time

in the home she made.

About the Creator

Rebecca A Hyde Gonzales

I love to write. I have a deep love for words and language; a budding philologist (a late bloomer according to my father). I have been fascinated with the construction of sentences and how meaning is derived from the order of words.
