Toilers of the Dark

Topsy turvy lives,
we lead.
We rare ones,
a special breed,
not all can be.
Sunrise is sleep, 
mid-day slumber.
The moon, our luminary.
We awaken 
with lengthening shadows.
Hallway haunters are we.


After a Long Work--Lgt

The evening dons a peaceful shroud
As windows teeter in the breeze.
Here, only lone sighs are allowed
Along the road, an endless wheeze.

While toilers saunter homeward bound
Reflecting hours quite drearily,
With tic- tac rhythm on the ground
Like shuffles of a weary tree.

Dim lanterns cut through brightened shade
With moonlight glowing starlit white,
Till liquid eyes are inter-laid
For even in reminisce is light.
