Darkness comes
As daylight shines
Through crystal glass
Dancing about
Prisms of colors
Bouncing off of
Objects black as coal

Darkening still
The fireball diminishes
Leaving behind a cooling breeze
To stifle the heavy air
Tamping it down
Stomping like a small child
In a tantrum

Then light begins again
Slowly restoring
The colors of the Earth
And the sky ignites
As the celestial orbs
Take their rightful place
Among the heavens
