Night and Day

Night and day

Back and forth they whip

to and fro

growing more ghostly with each passing moment.

There, you see?

That little dot

is glimmering at me.

Closer and closer it parades. 

to the same eerie drum.

My companion marches

as I stay and wait.

I know he’s near

long before I can see.

The signs are everywhere. 

The signals too strong to miss.

If I close my eyes for a second,

he will pass on by. 

Sometimes I get fooled into thinking he’s nearby. 

A trickster cast false shadows.

I am not the only one deceived. 

Blooms close up early at the thought of his passing. 

We never touch. 

We only see,

the evidence of the other

this is enough to bring peace. 

His scent lingers

longer after he’s gone. 

The drums descend into tomorrow.

Silence gives way to life. 

All we have is that moment. 

When our eyes meet

when night becomes day

and day becomes history.
