As the light of dawn breaks
The dark of the night is repelled
And once more the beauty of the day
Starts to shine before us
Light winning over darkness
Bereft of illumination
I cower in the shadow
The sun’s glare long receded
The cold of night reverberates
Stirring life into my aching body
Darkness consumes me whole
The noon day is with us
And once more light has conquered all
That light which shows us the way
To a life of bright harmony
Light winning over darkness
Rain clouds deprive the moonlight
Bringing a shower of pain
I stand releasing my agony
Silence comforts me with skeletal fingers
Slowly suffocating my existence
Darkness consumes me whole
This world is so full of strife
It stands on the edge of a knife
The dark and the light
Continue their fight
To see what becomes of this life
This world is so full of shade
It stands on the edge of a blade
The light & the dark
Continue to fight
To see what becomes of this charade
The end of the day is near
As the light slowly dims
The memories of the daylight
Will never leave us
Light winning over darkness
I smile a grimace of pessimism
Blinking as the downpour graces my façade
Inside my heart beats with regret
My hollow orbs sink to a new depth
I savour the moment in the pitch
Darkness consumes me whole
The night and darkness descends
But look up into the sky
The light shines through
The holes in Heaven’s floor
Light winning over darkness
As the sun returns to haunt my world
I hide; hooded & cloaked
I no longer belong in this creation
Withdrawing to the gloom I tremble
Eagerly awaiting the return of shadowy bliss
Awaiting darkness to consume me whole
