Its a long night <br />When sun closed her eyes <br />Refusing to share her rays <br />Bidding daylight bye <br />Allowing darkness in her stead <br /> <br />Its indeed a long night <br />When cloud gets darker <br />Silence becomes king <br />Leaving streets alone <br />Without soul on the lanes <br /> <br />Its a long night <br />As tiny creatures sound louder <br />When lonely paths are tread <br />Without any company <br />And rivers of water <br />Rolled down the cheeks <br /> Without any one to comfort. <br /> <br />Its still a long night <br />When all roads are blocked <br />When friends disown you <br />And you rolled like a stone <br />Down from the hilltop <br /> <br />The night seems longer <br />As relatves abandon you <br />Confidantes switch camps <br />Leaving you bare naked <br />You feel the ground opens <br />And swallows you up <br /> <br />Although the night seems long <br />It will soon fade away <br />Sun's uprise will come again <br />Clouds will become brighter again <br />So, never give up <br />When the night seems long<br /><br />Babatunde Aremu<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/when-night-seems-long/
