The 365 Day Challenge

Day 4

there is a time

in the world

where dark

conquers

all light

even the city

with its rosy embedded

lights

twinkling

even the country

with its long blue

lights

shimmering

from every corner of

the world

from every ocean

every land

every mousy brown tree

all

is dark

black black black

washing over

every

white bright white

til no silvery light

from the

even remains

perhaps the

whole universe

is dark

darkness pluming

the already

pitch black horizon

the ebony resonance

silence

a silence that remains

in the color

black

not a bird

nor a plane

nor any

breathing

humanoid creature

could disturb

no one ever hears it

no one ever sees it

some show slight notice

others are already in slumber

there is ample time

for it to prosper

between

dusk and

dawn

yet it is usually recessing

as the first eyes bloom open

it comes

back

at the

first

whimsy orange

and rose

colors materialize

on the horizon

and then

the

night

begins again
