night creeps through the trees
like an army stalking darkness
creatures of daylight vanish
the world is flushed with fear
evil forces bring a shudder
to the just and strongest of men
like a tide it rises on the land
till its march is halted by dawn
the world wakes to the light
the dark tyrant is vanquished
~~~~~
This poem chronicles the primal process of darkness and dawn
but is also offered as a comment of the banishment of tyranny.
