The Pale and the Glow

Darkness is my time,
I dance the starry sky,
I look to inspire,
the what ifs and the whys.
Before the sun will rise,
and the light gets in your eyes,
I will be the shades of grey,
the truth behind the lie.
The coolest of the cool,
the dampest of the damp,
the everything in your dreams,
is everything i am.
I am the pale,
I am the glow,
time and time again I am,
half the world you know.
