Amid the gathering darkness -
Deepening steadily
As the chill intensifies –
The last few rays
Battle for supremacy
Knowing they must,
For now, surrender.
Soon even shadows
Will be lost
And vision absent
Amid the confusing vista
Of cavernous night.
Any yet -
As surely as the dark
With all its myriad sensations
Will blanket us for a time -
The dawn will yet come
And Light and Life
Eternally
Defeat the night
