Once I saw the dark and cold night creeping,
slowly pushing out warm daylight seeping;
heard the blaring, hopeless sounds of sleeping
echoing despair’s sad, woeful weeping.
Felt the pain of fruitless daydreams heaping
deep inside my heart and soul now reaping
nighttime's empty stillness crying, keeping
silent tears within me forming, steeping.
Then I saw the morning sun safekeeping
warm and brilliant rays aglow now peeping.
Darkest ghosts of night were chased, sent leaping
from the hope of brand new day now sweeping.
