Lazy Dog Days | Parker Hawk

Cece Tribolet

Darkness Hits In a slow dreary motion First arrives the bouquet of lilies clasped by the sky With a small boy sitting on his lap. Next the pockets of bursting light Spring from their tunnels of darkness Each with something unique about them. Turning the darkness into a circus of light The sun has been taken over by these bundles of life The moon and stars create reflections in the river And people create peepholes for the bats amongst the shadows The people of the town have put their selves to rest Unaware of the beauty going on in their own backyard Unaware of the power of just a few lights. The moon creeps away first, followed by the stars And as the townspeople awaken, they shew them off The moon goes back into hiding, the stars back into their tunnels The night has ended but will be back tomorrow.
