Days Of Darkness, Nights Of Light Poem by Khaldun Atum

Days Of Darkness, Nights Of Light

Rating: 5.0


A day without rain;
Living without gain.
The tree to thine's eye
Reflects the gray sky.
The shades of darkness descending,
Blue turned gray; fading; lightning.
Withall and throughout the lightness gone,
Marked by evil, evermore and anon.
Days of darkness, nights of light,
Why dost these shine so bright?
Stars reflect the dark so ill,
Why does she stay so still?
A statue in itself, her skin a matching gray.
A kind word of love, would save her today?
The lightness engulfs her,
She's gone above,
Flying into the sky,
White as a dove.

A gloomy sea now, rushing water drown,
Prepare to engulf me, my legs bound,
A leap is all it takes to drag me down,
Over the edge;
Watership sound.

Gleaming through the darkness,
The light, bright, I harness,
Draw toasted me, no more blackness.

Awake in a white room, happy,
Nausea, now a little bit queasy,
Move my arms to no avail,
Legs follow in my trail.
Light fades in the hospital room,
I join my wife in my impending doom.
