The Night Falls The night falls weeping, wetting leaves and blades of grass. Day has died, now buried by ivory moon, caretaker of the critically ill. Night always mourns the passing of a day, as it screams to live, but dies, bleeding, spreading its life's blood across the clouds. The night is still, quiet, respectful of the dead and grieving yet another loss. ~Michael Auguste~ |

Michael I find this metaphor original and very interesting...Thinking of a sunset as the life blood of the day, changes my perception a bit..I like that. Hugs to you, my friend! |

Micheal, I have to go with what Martie said (I know, that's cheating lol) I love the way you have with words. Hugs, Tara "My heart is like an open book, for the whole world to read" |

I love your imagery here, Michael... I had never thought of night quite like this before, but reading your lovely poem, it does make sense. Great job here!  ~healing hugsLyra |

Michael, this is sad and yet it makes one look at things from a different angle, which is a good thing. Well done poet sir, hugs...be well, my friend. ~Somewhere in my heart I'm always |

Very well done Michael. Chris  Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away. |

How critical times must be when we have to look at reality, and know that night falls on us all... Keep waking up to the Sun, Michael... |
