Day Into Night

Night falls, hiding so many things With darkness that the sunset brings As if the troubles only reside inside When they’re actually lurking, as people hide Not enough truth in this blanket of lies Not enough truth about someone who dies If only truth was not being hidden If only truth spoken not being forbidden, This treacherous path would not be so Filled with evil that people do not know Confusion is brewed in a stew each day, As people choose to have it, in their dismay Yes the night falls, in the here and now But it’s lurking, waiting, to attack somehow Stay strong, stay brave, and hold onto light! Welcome the comfort all day into night! Heidi Sands 9/1/21
