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.
