This darkened day
Limps into the light
Barely illuminating the gloom’s respite
But still, this is no harbinger of doom
No era ending kibosh on us all
Still here, still keeping on
We wait for tomorrow’s promise
Of the evermore and early dawn
As this day pivots on its quarter pole
Releasing the passing of this dark passage
Through space and time
To climb once more into the light
One step forward
One foot dragging
But moving out of shaded gloom
Into the comfort of the sun’s delight
