Daytime Blues

Blackness all around you, the darkest time of night
Just before the dawning, welcomes you with light
Way into the East, a paleness starting there
Liquid is the movement, of light into the air

Darkness slowly waning, shapes can now appear
Night is curling up to sleep, Dawn is creeping near
The goddess blushes gently, lets the pink creep in
First faint trace of Blue, now showing on her skin

Colours endless colours, she’s showing her full range
The Blue is quickly growing to take on centre stage
Pale as yet insipid, spreading through the sky
Overcoming darkness, gladdening your eye

Shades are changing slowly, because she has all day
To show us all the wonders of the Blues in her array
Midday sun is overhead, few shadows on the ground
Blue is deep, encompassing, wrapping all around

Sun is sinking rapidly, Blue puts up a fight
Changing as it battles with the blackness of the night
Swinging through the change in ever darkening tones
Fade into the darkness, to leave you there alone

One thing that will never change, not for me or you
The Comfort and Security of the Daytime Blues
