Nightfall

124 10 10
                                    

The soft face of the rising moon

Crests over the forgotten horizon

Shedding new light on the day's twisted tune

Bestowing gifts that aim to enlighten

The murky shadows are gone

Replaced by a thin veil of infinite darkness

Thoughts are shifted in this different dawn

Singing a new song of solace

The scalding light of day may fester hope

In a soul unburdened by life's bitter anguish

But such a substance could never cope

When existence forces it to languish

It is within the calm whispers of dusk

The embittered spirit can be set free

Shedding the worn and crooked husk

Walking through actuality's tormented sea

Upon this cool and broken stage

Freedom is the anthem and the call

Opening the bars of day's dank cage

Fleeing into the wonders of night's fall
