Goodbye Daytime, Hello Darkness

When the setting of a chill

re-awakes in your spine

and the shadows move over,

move over your head drowning



Where have all the birds gone?

I'm calling now in the turbulent wind



If silence is here and the dusk slips

slips so slowly now.

Who are the creatures of the night?

You can almost hear them whisper

and sense their stay.

They are there, arent they?



In the light of the sun

with lawnmowers,

childhood noises,

shoelaces undone

cast a thought, drifting away



When the dawning of the night

creeps apon so still.

Irrational fears, dart across the ceiling

like moths across a titled light.

And the cold breath of a million souls

at seperate times

give harsh, raging whispers

playing like an old record

in a seperate room that night.



In the ballroom where time repeats

hear a million occasions through time,

time again; play on that night.

So many whispers

an eerie roar now.



Still feel the cold icey breath

against pale bare neck.

Swafts of cloud

where the dead meets the living.

Hello Darkness.

I cant see you.
