Holly Miller Poet Quatrain

Light the Night

Sunrise peaks through the curtains
Of a room long sealed from light
A place where day was banned
And all it had known was night

The night had come to linger
And day would feign appear
Only to hide its sunshine in the clouds
And rain that followed near

The day had become scary
The sunshine, just too high
It never came low as the moon
It never lit the sky

So night became a refuge
I hid within the stars
They gave what little light they could
Before they traveled far

And still I looked for sunshine
I hoped for light of day
I wished for the sun to rise,
To rise and dry the rain away

Looking through the curtains now
As the light streams through
I can't help but wonder
If that bright day will be you
