Mandy Tams The Golden Girl Poet Rubaiyat

Black Is the Night

~Black Is The Night~ 
Black is the night, and I see a lot of it right now
I sometimes watch the dawn, the sunrise is a Wow!
The dark, when it changes, to a wondrous golden glow
Revealing a new day, rising over the distant hill brow.

Happy I am to watch, this daily wondrous sight
The magic of the moment, when darkness turns to light
At first it’s hard to discern, the twilight of the dawn.
Then as the sun rises, the darkness it does smite.

Sad as the dawn departs, the rain clouds gather again
When will it give us a break it’s just going to continue to rain?
The birds don’t bother to sing this dawn, they are all fed up and so forlorn
We are happy to become sun-worshipers now, and long may it reign.

Andrea Dietrich September 27, 2012 at 6:20 PM I like the contrasts between dark and dawn in this one. I am such a sun worshiper and was mad today when finally there was sun. I went to lay out and half an hour later, clouds again!!!
