Ethereal

Oh how the sun has come with no shame, 
understanding its values of being in existence.
The openness of the twilight met with the glimpse of serenity. 
Oh what a time to be alive! 

From days of far sight where the games of guessing prevailed,
the way we light up our eyes and inhale the knowledge of 
how something so lifeless could bring a Lazarus effect to earth. 
Insight we do not understand as to why you are this way,
so in our ignorance we take advantage of what you bring to us. 
We see our nine but at the expensive of the silver lining,
Oh how what we have done. 

Rest yourself light so you may come and bless us another day. 
Leave us you have not for there is a sibling just as ethereal.
Days have gone, nights have came, there will always be light again.
