When Day Becomes Night

When day becomes night
And night becomes day
The cycle continues 
With less on display 
For chapters reopen 
And life unrehearsed 
The card that you played
Was never dealt first

The life that you want
Is merely in reach 
And wanting is lacking 
While lacking is need
You've spoken much softer 
Than many will know 
But feeble the child 
When he comes unprovoked
