The darkness is my day

The darkness is my day

and the night is as a thousand dawns to me,

having everything but the light,

which one can do without when one loves

the lesser light of

night,

of yellow lamplight

and cozy candlelight

and luminescent moonlight

and starlight

and the aura of the life, overlaying the beautiful blackness of

night.

The darkness is my day;

that's the only way that I can tell it's time to sleep.

The darkness keeps your day away from me,

and lets me keep my day to shades of gray.

The night you throw away is as a thousand dawns to me,

and I see them all except the dawn of day.
