The Darkness Above Us

Blackness is all my eyes see as

the twilight approaches.

Stars, so bright and flame filled,

will not exist in the sky tonight.

In darkness dwelt the sound of

nothing; It is just pure silence.

On this night, the rhythm of the heart

beat is the only sound you will hear.

At the break of dawn, the sun, swift

and sweet, will rise above us.

God will brighten this earth 

like a dreamily dream.

But as for this moment,

blackness is all my eyes see as

the tow light approaches.

The inspiration came from just sitting in my room at night, looking out my window, and observing my surroundings. It's amazing how such a good poem can come out of nature.
