"End of the Night"

by Jeph Johnson

 

Eyes as bright as the end of the night
Shine through tears she cannot fight
Smiles as wide as the oceanside
Contain waves of emotion, yet still the tide...

 

Radiance beyond the ripples on a pond
Sparkles from her golden sunlit face,
Turning the darkest night to dawn
While warming like the sun with her embrace.

 

Though night time brings the darkness
The starlight can't compete;
The city lights and moon's glow
Are beneath her feet.
