Light To Dark
What once was blinding light
slips slowly into the covered night
the mighty burn of the sun
slips behind each cloud hung
in the failing blueness of the sky
to gray and darken as it pries
a wedge, a deepening abyss
biding farewell, to the sun's warm kiss.
When all was clear and visibly seen
we were blinded by the reflected gleam
and as the dark drew closer and nigh
life slipped away in a breath's last sigh.
