Description
Dewdrops glisten on countless leaveseach a reflection of the world around
Always changing
Always moving
Every one unique
in the exact same way...
Darkness comes, darkness goes
day after day, night after night.
Always steady
Always faithful
Each night just like the night before
only different...
Nighttime animals graze in freshly dew wet fields
Gathering all they can in the darkness
Always working
Always needing
Just the same as last night
only just a little more...
Daylight sets crouched just behind the horizon
waiting for its cue in this endless game
Always ready
Always brilliant
Each morning oh so different than the last
and quite unlike anything else...
And then comes the sun...
Night folk head for their homes
Day folk open sleep filled eyes
and pull the covers just a little higher
Just 5 more minutes...
Im not going in today...
And in that lull between day and night
dark and light, sleep and the waking world
is a fraction of a second when time stands still
and everything stops as one, raises their heads
and nods a silent greeting to their constant companion.
The continue on about their day
without a second glance...
Until the next night, when just like the last
the sun will crouch just beyond the horizon
waiting for the perfect moment to appear.
An endless game of peekaboo
Always watching
Always praying
Always waiting
until tomorrow when things will happen again
just like it did today
but in an altogether different way...

I definitly see some symbolism in here - I'm unsure if it was intended or not. But I'm pretty sure I know what you are talking about. It does paint the picture well. Well written. *thumbs up*

I do not repeat, re-iterate, say what I have said again, continue with things I have said previous....I am straight, to the point...never wandering....always concise...never drull or drab...

i really like this... almost like an old myth or fairy tale sorta thing explaining the origin of days and nights... the sun truly does power everything we do... i think maybe a little bit of the sun's differentness filters down into our world along with its light however, making us different and yet all, at base levels, the same... interesting topic... nice poem
