When The Sun Rises

When The Sun Rises

When the sun rises; and the darkness ends;
life turns another page in its book;
evil whispers to both enemies and friends;
suggesting all past is forsook.

While evil still casts a great many shadows;
running to escape the light of the sun;
rapidly the sun shines across the meadows;
signaling a new day has begun.

Darkness still hides in a great many places;
shaded by modern buildings and trees;
evil hides within a great number of faces;
seeking out ones; willing to appease.

Evil stands out; in the light of the sun;
sunning himself, in the light of day;
in darkest night; he remains on the run;
threatening all who get in his way.

The righteous often sleep during the night;
knowing that evil draws near;
many arise at the dawn’s early light;
for it’s the darkness, they fear.

Things have changed; over the years;
the evil one has become more bold;
prodigals, from guilt; shed their tears;
hiding from truth; while growing old.

In the essence of time; all stands still;
stripping all of evil’s disguises;
even the innocents, become evil’s shill;
all exposed; when the sun rises.
