Understanding Ignored

The twilight of day glimpsed over the waves

where shadows contoured the darkness of caves.

The sky paints a scene of a twilight cascade

the vanishing sun continues to fade.

With the passage of time, the sun slips away,

enveloping darkness; dissolving the day.

The sand, once golden, with the hint of a glimmer

now stands dark with no sense of shimmer.

Waters that were once bright aquamarine

now dark and mysterious; depths unforeseen.

The day we knew had withered away

when the moon arose with a creed to convey.

An additional day; a whispered reverie

in place of a genuine, sealed guarantee.

The moonlight breaks through, relieving the void.

renewing the sanity; deafness destroyed.

The stars emerge slowly, piercing the night

in endless harmony with mystic moonlight.

A sprinkling of diamonds filling the sky

suggesting travel as time drifts by.

Universal signs become crystal clear,

cause hope to soar and the eye shed a tear.

A trail of elation runs down the cheek.

the darkness brightened, not eerie, not bleak.

The sun, moon and stars could enlighten us all

if we would just listen; be aware of the call.

But we are wrapped up in our tedious days

and ignore the knowledge the message conveys.
