Darkness Approaches
Darkness approaches,
Shadows loom larger and longer,
Twilight overtaken by
The twinkle of the stars,
Scoops of ice cream
Float weightless in the sky,
Ghost of the harbor
Skim across the glazed surface
Mans expansion stopped
By a stand of trees
That separates his attempt
To dominate that which he is a part of.
The shadows of the trees
Extend into this fabricated habitat,
Appearing as bars in prison,
Reminding him
His spirit is enslaved
By the standards that are held up
High on the clouds that float across
The endless sky.
