nightfall
watching the sunset on another day,
wishing one human chould chase it and get it to stay.
the light begins to fade,
the air cooler on my skin,
and suddenly reality begins to set in.
I fear to lose the light of day,
knowing deep down,
the moon as my witness,
that i take this night on completely defenseless.
all by myself,
with no one to love, hold, or care for,
with nothing all,
i take a deep breath to take on nightfall.
When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.
John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
