Late Night Stand

It is a reflective poem about what has come and gone

Stepping outside harsh constant glow
..Protection from light gone dark
Far above pin points shine
..Secrets held we must discover

Small and insignificant we are
..Great scheme is hidden away
Until one day man travels
..Move far from sun shadow

Light slowly treks across sky
..Reminder of long journey yet
Light winks out in darkness
..Still watching us from above

We will be ancient history
..Children marvel in time past
Restrictive limits long since gone
..Barbarians are we without travel

Eyes adjust to almost black
..Twinkle bubbling to dark ferment
More colors, bright and vivid
..Grab each one for answers

Empty hand contains no revelations
..Only lines on hardened palm
Truths will arrive that way
..Until one day we leave

For now we gaze above
..Creative ideas surface from imagination
We, those in true Dark Ages
..Knights who are earth bound
