...Dressed In Darkness... Poem by Ken e Hall

Born again darkness dressed in
Nature’s monolith cloak moved
By the slow sinking sun becomes alive,
In its blackness...complete.
Daylight gently banished
Chimney pots, roof tops, forests,
Mountains and valleys fade into submission,
Nothing escapes the nightly darkling.
Every eye of man and beast welcomes
The evening’s lifebuoy of the sky,
Changing scenes to a different state with the
Silver moon painting shadows on reflection
Cities rebel as the electric light orchestra
Swings into its powerful show,
A trillion lamps applaud the Neon rainbows as
City lakes ripples twinkle silver winks,
Bright green glows allow tired workers home
To windows inviting, cosy for their rest,
In the night slumber comes to everyone.
The night commands its recharge will
In the still of the night quietness reigns supreme,
Dawn is broken by the giant of shining light
With its daily panorama of golden beauty,
Dispersing darkness beyond the seas
Turning night into day heaven sent.
Heralded by the song of a single bird.
