Nocturnal Conditions
See the darkness
clear and bright
See oblivion
in all its might
Breaks in clouds
admit the stars
Breaks the shrouds
revealing scars
Light seeps through
even when it's cast out
From distant ghosts, unto...
abysmal whereabouts
In darkness, light can blind
In the light, the dark will dim
In both some say they find
the glimmers of their whim
Nights so quiet
the silence itself is hushed
In shades of black, blue, and violet
reflected lights have blushed
The secrets of the moon
that know the silenced tune
Will sing in absent voices
Or howl like rabid loons
Streets lit bright
with artificial lumens
Illuminate the sight
of crepuscular/nocturnal humans
Some elated
Others despaired
Perhaps related
In darkly severed pairs
Where darkness shines
Where light is subtle
The silver lines
And reticent rebuttals
As all things end
and nights remain
The light may bend
but not refrain
