A shining sun
Glaring bright
Stopping all
With our smiling light
Till the cover
Was tossed on
And darkness crept
Around the sun
Black paint
Covering all
Snuffing out light
So all will fall
And when the time
Finally gets handle
When light can shine
It's but a candle
On a stand of wax
With a tiny flame
The dark still creeping
Barely kept tame
And yet that makes
It prettier yet
When the stars shine,
The too bright sun has set
The tainted color
Brings beauty new
Mystery and light
Of a more believable hue
The smiles back
Seeming even more bright
Against the backdrop
Missing it's light.

A shining sun
Glaring bright
Stopping all
With our smiling light
Till the cover
Was tossed on
And darkness crept
Around the sun
Black paint
Covering all
Snuffing out light
So all will fall
And when the time
Finally gets handle
When light can shine
It's but a candle
On a stand of wax
With a tiny flame
The dark still creeping
Barely kept tame
And yet that makes
It prettier yet
When the stars shine,
The too bright sun has set
The tainted color
Brings beauty new
Mystery and light
Of a more believable hue
The smiles back
Seeming even more bright
Against the backdrop
Missing it's light.
