A Day, a Life...

dawn comes...
and with it, hope.
the shadows and demons
of the night before it
fade away
in the light of day.

day passes...
and with it, time.
no time for dreams and wishes;
hurry, hurry,
get things done
before the fading sun.

sunset glimmers...
and with it, regret.
time wasted, and love
a myth, a mystery.
fling a prayer into the sky
darkness is nigh...

night falls...
and with it, fear.
monsters roam among the shadows.
the damned cry out
in vain. shed a tear
death is here.
