The Dark of Night



The Dark of Night

my eyes awake to darkness,
fear grows in my brain,
isolated and alone,
floating in nothingness,
it does my soul good,
to believe I am not alone,
I race outside,
eyes on the country sky,
lit with stars and planets,
beyond number,
back in bed,
a tear shed,
for the millions of city dwellers,
never to have witnessed a night time country sky.
