Yes some nights are darker & despondent.

Sometimes getting no air to breathe,

Alas! Wanting to get out of it with the blink of an eye.

Waking up to see the sun rising high.

Beyond beautiful I realise when I see the clear sky.

Receiving the warmth the morning brings with it,

Feeling the peace the cool breeze has within it.
