Dark Of Night

The sun is hiding again;
And the dark has now overtaken the clouds.
The stars cry for help, shining bright hoping To get noticed,
And the birds fly away as they are banished From the sky.
Where are you Sun?
You have left us with no light for so long,
And you have showed weakness to the Dark.
These monstrous creatures have entered my room at their command,
Save me with your light.
Will you return and claim what is Rightfully yours, just as it is rightfully theirs?
