The sun recedes and Day-sky hides her face
and nets of stars are cast to take their place.
A sun-bleached satellite now rules on high
as planets wander through the velvet sky.
A lone coyote chants its mournful lay
while furtive field mice haste to hide away.
A million creeping creatures join the song
upon the breeze of night carried along.
Dark wings unfold to beat the restless chill--
Nocturnal nestlings hungry for a kill.
I lie awake, broadcasting senses wide
to hear and see and smell life's nightly tide...
'til finally, that world becomes a dream--
yet one more realm where darkness reigns supreme.

Dark Supremacy
Trained as a music teacher in Philadelphia, I directed music and worship in several churches for over 20 years. My family and I settled in northern Indiana where until recently I worked in the truck building industry. My goal in writing is to cheer the heart, challenge the soul, and glorify Jesus Christ, my Lord and Redeemer.
