The Night 

 

Cole Henderson

 

The sun fades near the clouds.

 trees cast long slim shadows onto the ground.

 The temperature of the day drops.

 animals of the night come out of hiding. 

The moon illuminates the night sky.

People are going to die.

The souls will fly.

People will cry. 

The predators will hunt.

The prey will be forced to confront.

It's a new day to add to the month 

Another number to crunch. 

The sun rises as well as I. 

As the morning comes around people will be reforming.

The world will have to restore.

People just want more.
