Sky

The sky echoes the fading day

Warning of the dark

An instinctual warning sign

What is soon to come 

 

Like chickens we retreat again

Hurried in our pace

As darkness delivers worry

Until the dawn breaks

Lost is the arrogant edge

That daylight doth bring

What was once known, now a stranger

In darkness new eye

 

A prayer for deliverance nigh

To protect once more

Through power greater than thine

In darkness unknown

 

Soon the sun breaks the grip of night

With rays effulgent

A life looks different in color 

Heart felt gratitude

 

Noon day brings a flood of light

Nothing left untouched

In it's radiant warmth and succor

Dark a memory

 

The sky echoes the fading day

Warning of the dark

An instinctual warning sign

What is soon to come
