Diurnal Variation III
Today, being the 1st anniversary of my blog, it seems fitting to post the 3rd in a series on the theme of my very first post: Diurnal Variation.
dark becomes light
as day shifts to night
the brain’s body clock
only ticks after tock
circadian chimes
wrong rhythm in time
as night becomes day
light fades to grey
Diurnal Variation II
the soul dives
into the dark pool,
bottom-feeds on nightmares,
does not surface
in time
for daybreak
Diurnal Variation
In the waking hour
fear floods in,
chokes hope’s power.
In the witching hour
hope sings out,
drowns fear’s clamour.
