Beyond the window lays a peppered darkness 
now past the sun’s day, a land's corruption by 
a lack of color, flowers with the spots of light 
greens and reds, yellows, give speckles of life 
to a night time devoid, and neon writes away 
the fear of loneliness in the dim world void 
of any people, directs one to the warmth, 
a gathering of humanity, a bastion in the dark 
man’s fight against the darkness, against night 
by bringing back some of the lost light.
