Fathom

-Night and day- A tug and pull of lovers never entwined, -Beauty and force- The caress and the crave, As the sun fades beneath the dawn And the light slowly retreats The night, edging forward Seeking to touch, to grasp But too late, as the light fades away: And it is here… the darkness has settled- And the dark is omnipresent A depth of universe So vast, so full of stars and worlds So enshrouding, a blanket of secrets and untold deeds So grand and great So mighty, unquestionable Inevitable For the dark to encroach, encompass and overwhelm; This night It stands all around us With no peers or equals The light long gone, long faded And the night, it waits till the fawning of the sun The first sign of light To fade away Alone, every night In its grandeur, Alone.
