the day chases the light into the dark
where it shatters against the night
filling the heavens with glimmering bits
like diamonds cast to a black sandy beach
too precious to touch, too beautiful to hold
remnants of the day meld with magics wonder
as we search them in wishes, for dreams promise
or to bathe in their dust, for loves conception
and in the race never won, as night chases day
we are reborn once more into lights redemption
where souls rejoice, and life again searches its meaning
