There’s a place where it’s always the daytime Where the sun never moves through the sky Though I’m sure there’s a logical reason Pray, permit me to not explain why So abundantly verdantly fruitful Is the flora that smothers the ground That the floor is a tangle of taproots And the soil can seldom be found The canopy merges and mingles As it fights with itself for the light So the trunks hold a desolate vigil In a world of perpetual night Its inhabitants skulk in the shadows With unblinking and baleful eyes Eating only what falls from the darkness Just the dead or the soon to demise

Day Begets Night
There’s a place where it’s always the daytime Where the sun never moves through the sky Though I’m sure there’s a logical reason Pray, permit me to not explain why So abundantly verdantly fruitful Is the flora that smothers the ground That the floor is a tangle of taproots And the soil can seldom be found The canopy merges and mingles As it fights with itself for the light So the trunks hold a desolate vigil In a world of perpetual night Its inhabitants skulk in the shadows With unblinking and baleful eyes Eating only what falls from the darkness Just the dead or the soon to demise
