Again

Again By Dane Smith-Johnsen It's black outside. Not a single star penetrates. The forest canopy covers. The chirp of crickets is masked. The window fan whirs. Another night is listening. Coolness dies; lost to the ozone. And insomnia takes its toll. Again. Distant train whistles fade. Sounds sensed subside. The interstate traffic has waned. Out there is the muggy darkness. Inside is safety. No Frights. Bites. Lights. Nights share earth's resources. And await returning daylight. Again. Grayness possesses the sky. Blackness is replaced by light. The sun, not yet seen, Adds more warmth. While the forest canopy covers. Protecting from burning woes. Reflection's tears pour. And God forgives. Again.
