" Night Falls."-by-Chris Bright & Matthew F. Blowers III
Sunset burns the sky
into black as night falls
its weight presses me down
like a heavy quilt
soaking wet I shiver
under the icy glare
of it's gazillion starry eyes
they all gleam
they have seen endless
creatures such as I
tread below
The fingernail moon
scratched by its glow
madness can ensue
but I am composed
I study it's drape
blackness hides
a lurking cat
where size does matter
for if I were smaller
night fall would bring
my own fall....
my own fall
no cars no souls
they all slumber
sawing logs
now I understand
the term S-lumber
ghosts prowl
unseen they do not
want us to know
what waits
when night falls forever
they watch
and cherish our motions
our breathing things
they can no longer do....
woooooooooooooooo---ooooooooo
worms creep out
onto the drive
to get a little moon burn
I wish it was all that romantic
they actually crawl
out of wet soil
to avoid drowning in it
they leave the earth
that shelters them
in a smothering grasp
perhaps we do as well
when night falls
one last time.
Standing in my socks
and my BVD's
I make a poor philos-cipher
Hell, I can't even spell it right
but I know the night
it is an old friend
and a nemisis as well.
it lurks just past sundown
and waits for me
to embrace it
in more then
just poetic terms
I turn in wet socks
and enter the light
that shelters me under
the falls of night
my pillow calls me
feather soft
my blankets hold
warmer places to visit
I climb the stairs
to heavenly rest
temporal at best
Still Dawn comes around
all the time until it's
no longer time to
don our flesh and we
become bones but still
dawn comes around
all the time.
and as I lie down in my bed
and lay my weary head
upon my pillow
I smile at all the wonders
of the world and how
little we really know
as I whisperr
and I hope all of
your tomorrow's
turn out right
"Nighty-night
nightey...nighty....Nighty night..".
