Night and Day
Day breaks
And yet another,
Night beckons
An altogether
Mystic cabal.
Soft blankets of dreamless sleep
Quiet parodies of painless deep
Where numbness rules
And darkness proves
Master and Principal
Of this guileless fool.
Day break holds no solace dear
The veils asunder now even more
clear
Cavernous, abysmal, fathomless
deep
That vice like depravity
Cutting, grasping
Unstoppable bleak.
No respite this, the morning air
This fog of pain and bitter fear
Only sinking in till
surroundings near
Too shudder and gasp at
hauntings here;
What day is this? More twilight
still
What day there be? Though
sunlight fills
Only the clawing, black
beckoning ills
That echo and piercing, my soul
doth fill.
Night, sweet night but for a
moment breathes
When heaviness and the aches do
flee
Then tired lids and tired soul
doth abide in thee
And for the instant be rested,
be silent and be free.
