Night Comes Over

The cloak so dark only the sun can pierce
The walk so silent making faiths and fears.
Wishing to jump to the journey's end.
Life is not a leap but a gradual ascent.

Saw the shares of sunny days
Now the nights are there to stay.
Dream that you wish to live so soon.
Giving up as it passes the noon.
A man did not make a name going home
when the day was over
But getting ready to fight and bleed
as the night comes over.
