It Reigns Supreme
The dark comes rolling in
great waves of passion and great awe.
then quietly it drives away the light
reflecting nothing but it’s self.
it comes and goes from sight and mind
then rolls back in next night after sunset.
it reigns supreme night after night,
it always looks like it will never stop.
but, sun rise comes and it retreats
fleeing from sight and our minds once again.
we smile and carry on our day
in fright of what’s to come.
