Darkness of the Night

(Version ll)

Last night when the veil of darkness fell on the bay

There was no moon or stars on display

A blanket of cloud had separated heavens from the earth.

It was as if the universe was sulking at planet earth

There was occasional hooting of owls

And sometimes barking of stray dogs

The hopelessness of his plight

Perfectly matched darkness of the night

The misery he felt inside his broken heart

Was mirror image of darkness of the night.
