Grex Writing Item 140: *Bring Back the Night!* Eric Shirley
Entered by fraizer on Mon Apr 17 18:34:29 UTC 1995:

Bring back the night!
Bring back the night!
I'll worry in the morning
Cry in the morning
Bright sunny hellish morning
The evil sun
The wicked light
Burning me up
Beating me down
Bring back the night!
Bring back the night!
Peaceful darkness
Gentle blackness
Cool and comfortable
Familiar
The night forgives and forgets
It allows for error
The day tells on you
It gives you away
And makes you a servant to its light
Bring back the night!
Bring back the night!
I'm done with yesterday
I'm not ready for tomorrow
I need more dark
I need more dark
Bring back the night
the moon
the stars
the dark
the night

Hey, I like that. Sorta snuck up on me, but it is cool.
I must be more of a night person than I thought. *sigh*
Loved those college days..... : )

I can't say that I love the night or the day any more than the other. At times
they both have their up-points. At times, I agree with the 'telling on' part,
but there are also times when I think of the light as saving me from the
darkness I sometimes get lost in. :)
