Night And Day

With night came the sun

Dead

Dark

Diminished

 Spent and defeated

Wanting no more than a few breaths

Of solitude and peace

Burnt of the fire within

Blistering and smarting with open wounds

That needed a cool touch

The sun sought rest

Solemn sleep for a night

Dreamless, stark, slumber…

With day came the night

A sultry seductress

Flaunting millions of glistening stars

Shadowing the sun

All across the horizon

Awake, and alert

Not giving in, even an inch

To the brightness

Drinking it all in

Preserving energies

While day is spent

Running from corner to corner

Night and day

Stay together

within

Tossing and tuning

With every tide and ebb

We build our own web

And strict confines

One has to lose

For the other to win

-          Why?

It is so easy to give in

To day or to the night

What is tough

Is to put up a fight

Day and night…
