The Light Leave Darkness Behind

The day moves by swiftly
the sun in the sky shines
warmth and brightness
before my eyes 
moving to quickly day is too short
night follows quietly
soflty tip toeing behind
Light races by 
to fast it seems
darkness follows 
enveloping slowly 
trendles like fingertips 
encasing the earth in lights wake
the turtle beats the hair
darkness sees more then light
darkness moves slower
steadily, strong
opposites in everyway
light laps darkness
it's day once more
