I Am Night
It’s as if the darkness consumes me,
swallowing my motionless body whole
in the midst of its loneliness
The sound of cars passing by
echoed into the breezy air
The sunlight reflecting against the moon
cast a luminescent light on the pavement below
The stars above shine from a long distance
and old time
The shadows grow darker with each passing minute,
making the world seem as if it were a large shadow itself
The bats have come out,
soaring peacefully in the night sky
But in just a few short hours
the darkness with spit me out
and be shoved aside for later use,
and being replace by the bright,
shining sun
And that bright, shining sun will smile down on the earth,
proud to know that as every day passes,
I burn and shrivel
Because… I am night
swallowing my motionless body whole
in the midst of its loneliness
The sound of cars passing by
echoed into the breezy air
The sunlight reflecting against the moon
cast a luminescent light on the pavement below
The stars above shine from a long distance
and old time
The shadows grow darker with each passing minute,
making the world seem as if it were a large shadow itself
The bats have come out,
soaring peacefully in the night sky
But in just a few short hours
the darkness with spit me out
and be shoved aside for later use,
and being replace by the bright,
shining sun
And that bright, shining sun will smile down on the earth,
proud to know that as every day passes,
I burn and shrivel
Because… I am night
