These Are Nights

Like dreams they pass along
Unnoticed like a shadow seen
For days to become, they begone
Un-notice if to remember a dream

And felt… are days always to come
A blessed gift enriched of light
Are there not those from many of some?
With an after touch, bewitched of night

Nights as always… misused to abuse
A summary for all dark deeds be unwind
Unlike days as always… appraise to amuse
Is it not a wonder, why someone is always behind?

These are nights… perhaps I let be
For those of days… when I cannot see
That of light… when found wasn’t me
For others to only say… “Who is he?”

Like dreams to pass along simply
To notice for even a shadow be seen
For days will come along… naturally
Unnoticed if to remember but a dream
