Light Stands Out

It comes as day eclipses   						 
like faded sheets of grey                        				             
moment to moment to black  					               
even here light shines through  						  
The smallest step crickets stop their orchestra                                                               
silent and still they resume     						    
It comes as day eclipses						 
like purple strands still grasping for life  					    
tic-tock tic tock to ebony  					               
even here light shine through    						 
Fears and lore written here reading by fire 	                                                                    
It comes as day eclipses                                                                                                   
It goes as day transits  					                 
like pulling back a hue less veil                 					 
time after time till bright                                     				    
A loud step birds flushed a new song                                                                                
singing also alight they rest                                                                                             
It goes as day transits                                           				 
like purple strands still grasping for life    				               
meter by meter to light                                                                                                 
even here darkness resides                                                                                     
Written here psalms and comfort reading by water 				    
It goes as day transits
