Fiery Sky Black Earth

27th February 2026
Redness rising slowly,
Blue melting into pink
Deepening into orange
Painting the sky with fire.
Black shadows multiply
Buildings painted black
Silhouettes that lighten
Closer to the west.
Small lamps light up
Spreading blue light
When the bulb in the sky goes out
The lamps on earth begin to glow.
The sun bows out on one side
Rising on the other side
Ushering in the day
Where night prevailed.
I sit in the shadows
Watching this dance of day
I take hope in the thought
That light always follows night!
