Eyes glimmer
Specs of light radiate
Rays of rainbows emit

A prism of fortuitous youth

Daylight rests
And darkness takes its turn

Another day
Turns to history

Atlas's globe spins
He never does seem to tire

Learned contentedness
Throughout
Condemning years

Once colored views fade to illusions
Grandeur turns through paths too black

The aging eyelids of hope tire
Drop to meet the lashes
That lay directly below

Daylight rests
And darkness takes its turn

In sleep
Eyes rapidly move
Each upon its own axis
Stopping only to stare in fear at one another
As truth has blackened their hues

Silently they're forced to move in fear

Daylights final rest shall soon be realized
