The light

Yet again another light appears in the dead of night , Waking me from sleep with a majestic sigh

Yet a sigh I’m unable to grasp, gazing into the light, dwelling while it lasts

But I know the beam will soon die out, the light will be dimmed amidst the clouds

I will tilt my head and stare as the light fades away, wondering why such a sigh can never stay

Once again the night returns before my eyes, no longer consumed by the lies of the light 

The deception that captivated my brain, must have been a delusion I made in vain 

I’ll remind myself the simple truth, there was no light, there is simply darkness in the dead of night 

And yet I know tonight, I’ll stay awake eager to see the sigh, waiting for my eyes to illuminated by the beauty of the light 

I’ll wait for what is nothing but an illusion, I’ll stare into the darkness, trees and pollution. 

Waiting for a so called “light” to return once again to conquer the night.
