Day & Night
you were my sunrise
my warm happy day
the sky under which children played
and people dreamed
they looked up at you and would see beauty
you were my purple orange red yellow sunset
wrapping me in your immense colors
but you were my sundown
my cold scary night
my pure black harsh sky
the sky under which people walked in fear
they looked up to you and pray for light
you were my day and night
emcompassing wonder and fear all in the span of a few hours
you were my day and night
