Day vs Night

  Jeremiah Zaeske   Green hills roll like ripples in the sea of earth The sun reigns the sky its fire casting light upon the grassy plane illuminating the colors Colors leaping out in joy This scene has all the bright and beautiful feelings of a youthful day Only upon closer inspection can it be seen that the sky has other inhabitants that under the laughter of day is the sound of the moon being smothered beneath the burning hot gold A dark looming figure A stain that won't come out A reminder that as long as the earth spins day will always turn to night Some dread it and cling to day as their sanctuary Deem the night their enemy A killer of light The end of all days The more the sun unleashes its grip on the sky the more they fear that time has slipped through their fingers like salt water But all the beauty of the world still stands there in the darkness You don't need the bright colors to feel it There's hope in the grey Night and days is a symbiosis
