A day without rain; <br />Living without gain. <br />The tree to thine's eye <br />Reflects the gray sky. <br />The shades of darkness descending, <br />Blue turned gray; fading; lightning. <br />Withall and throughout the lightness gone, <br />Marked by evil, evermore and anon. <br />Days of darkness, nights of light, <br />Why dost these shine so bright? <br />Stars reflect the dark so ill, <br />Why does she stay so still? <br />A statue in itself, her skin a matching gray. <br />A kind word of love, would save her today? <br />The lightness engulfs her, <br />She's gone above, <br />Flying into the sky, <br />White as a dove. <br /> <br />A gloomy sea now, rushing water drown, <br />Prepare to engulf me, my legs bound, <br />A leap is all it takes to drag me down, <br />Over the edge; <br />Watership sound. <br /> <br />Gleaming through the darkness, <br />The light, bright, I harness, <br />Draw toasted me, no more blackness. <br /> <br />Awake in a white room, happy, <br />Nausea, now a little bit queasy, <br />Move my arms to no avail, <br />Legs follow in my trail. <br />Light fades in the hospital room, <br />I join my wife in my impending doom.<br /><br />Khaldun Atum<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/days-of-darkness-nights-of-light/
