The Coming of Night



Cascading light ends the day
A canvas upon the sky
Darkness overwhelms forcing it away

The last purple hue fighting to stay
Without a chance to ask why
Cascading light ends the day

It clings evermore, a splinter, a fray
Clearly refusing to die
Darkness overwhelms forcing it away

A final flicker ends the bouquet
It’s last chance to say goodbye
Cascading light ends the day

Killed by a blackness determined to stay
With a tear the sun begins to cry
Darkness overwhelms forcing it away

Creatures of night, begin to prey
Feasting on those who can’t try
Cascading light ends the day
Darkness overwhelms forcing it away
