As Night Falls

Days pass

And we wonder

Who we are and why we’re here.

It’s a land of mysterious secrets

Where things are rarely revealed.

And the sky grows darker.

The stars are appearing.

The moon’s rising.

And the waters shimmer.

There are so many things

That are there.

So tell me why.

As I walk along the shore,

I observe those around me.

The gulls are flying.

The waves crash and roll.

The wind breezes.

And yet I do not understand.

And the sky grows darker.

The stars are appearing.

The moon’s rising.

And the waters shimmer.

There are so many things

That are there.

So tell me why.

The universe is great.

We’ll never know it all.

But I know we’ll always try

Because its our nature

And that is what makes us us

No matter how things are.

And the sky grows darker.

The stars are appearing.

The moon’s rising.

And the waters shimmer.

There are so many things

That are there.

So tell me why.

Why?

That is the question

That we’ll never know.

The world has its way

Of keeping us from knowing.

So, one day, we’ll see

The end of it all.

By then, it’ll be too late

And then we’ll know it all.

And the sky grows darker.

And the sun is setting.

The moon’s rising,

But it’s masked by clouds.

Things fade.

The waters roar.

And there are meteor showers.

And one can hear screaming.

Yes, it’s the end.

It’s the war to survive.

The end is near.

And yet it is us

Who have brought this destruction

Upon ourselves.

…we wonder

We wonder

Why it is this way,

But we cannot answer.

It just is the way.

It just is.

We brought it upon ourselves.

It’s the end.

…the sky flashes….

… It is the end.
