"The Last Light"
By: Jamie Lauren Wyrick (Wednesday, January 20, 2000)

The last light dwindles and fades from blue skies,
still aglow from a golden orb high overhead,
and darkness falls, softly, gently,
like a gentle sigh.
I lay silently,
the darkness' gentle wings first outspread,
then encircling me.
The darkness is soft, and warm,
beckoning me, engulfing me.
I am alone. I hunger to become a silent shadow
hidden within the darkness.
My eyes lift and I whisper questions to the darkness,
I wish I could know, yet - I receive no answers.
Lost dreams, lost hopes,
Sleep comes for me,
and for one last time, I dream.
