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.
