Analysis of Nightfall
In the silence of night awareness fights to see a light.
Silly me.
I image to see a flickering that halts at my door,
willing to be found,
and look around seek the source, but of course
there is none.
And everywhere people sleep, and in their dreams they weep
'bout losses.
Life's faith tosses us around, and we bow
just for now.
