Shadows Stretch and Shrink...

splintered moons are always moving over my night skies and shooting stars always are greeted with a surprise sunsets, in autumn, always fall with the leaves that let go and someday you will eventually know that everything happens for an unknown reason shadows stretch as each night dims to a darker gray and stars wink in a direction that's a thousand years away as clouds move through and cry frozen tears of snow and someday you will eventually know that love also has a calendar of changing seasons each day the night betrays the sun at a different time and the stars twinkle their lights to a rhythmless chime but in the darkest days of winter there's no sun left to glow and someday you will eventually know that all cycles seem to have an act of treason
