Analysis of As The Day Fades



This daylight lingers away
Blue submits and ousts another day
Yet the night is still to go
A love
A friend
A foe
This too will come to pass
Only as long as the night lasts
Because drama supercedes the rationale
With no stage to tell a tale
To speak politically incorrect
Of a person living cause and effect
Some reality forming absolutes and norms
Same pieces crumbling as it forms
The sky strikes a cord in soulful lament
Prayers and tears are calmly sent
The answer comes back gentle and low
A search for courage here and fro
Mystery at root like a child to a man
Open eyes upon the day that lingers again
