Dark night
curtains flap in the wind
yet the drapes be drawn
on the next day's dawn

understand how night curtains falls
from the distance a lonely loon calls
from somewhere dawn is drawn
I have no say in this
but witness
a coming light
within sight
a receeding darker shade
witness how days are made
learn contents of charades.

and exit behind the curtains
as the world spins.
where shall I begin
with a day or night
when in vision
or out of sight.

witness how days are made
learn the contents of charades

It's the shadows that complement the sun. I like the form of this.

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

I like finding how the shadows displace the light...and that might be taken the other way around...with this world in a constant spin, I'm so dizzy...hehe
