The night broke
As daylight faded
Behind the shadows
Of yesterday’s warmth

Stars awakened
With a twinkle
Like eyes winking
The promise of more

Yet I wonder
As I close my eyes
Will they diminish
Fizzle away, die

Would this be the end
Of light guiding darkness
Or the beginning
Of darkness coveting day
And I open my eyes
