The suns pate sinks deeper over the horizon
A flowing flood of darkness chases the fleeing light
Light like a coward retreats without a fight
All its energies spent its brightness fast fades out
Night which can utter no word announces itself to millions
Spreading itself and covering everything under its dark veil
No wick nor floodlights, nothing will keep darkness away
It must rule the night before morning comes and it’s dethroned
Pity and shame for the sinking sun turns the moon red with anger
And it steps out to help its bigger and brighter brother illumine the earth
The stars too refuse to endure watching its kin put to shame
Out one by one, the little of the family to the biggest they all shine
Darkness is thwarted in its attempt to entirely rule the earth
Man, whose walk would have been halted by the flood of darkness
Stands, stops, and turn his face upwards with a grateful smile
His words are soft and heartfelt, a cross between poetry and prayer
His emotions a sighing, a relief, a jubilance…
A new awareness, a restoration of something which was fast breaking,a mending
Hope and joy propels his mind, sky by night becomes his fast library
And he reads captivated by newfound wisdom, almost a new religion
Wisdom is above, God is above, light too mustn’t be hid but put above
The veil of darkness is shredded by the piercing rays of light, rays of hope
It will exist, but not triumph, the sky is mans crown, the sun, moon and stars
And though the crown be so high we forget, it’s still on our heads lighting our path
