A Short Poem About Death

pinprick stars arise
the glimmers in the west
fade to darkness call
the world goes down to rest

but rest not yet, dear world
darkness comes too soon
the stars ought not proceed
the rising of the moon

the sky's gold in death
and sun in its last
more beautiful than birth
but its colors soon pass

sunsets fade
shadows fall to night
but now awake the dawn
i'll wait for morning light
