Shining ball in the sky
Light glimmering up so high
Breaking away the darkness of the night
The blackness vanishes without a fight
A soft glimmer of a glow,
Comfort all high and low
For some to see and creep
Others to happily sleep
Moon sparkling up above,
Guide us all with love
Showing us the way,
During the night and, at times, the day
Seemingly close enough to touch
Never too little or too much
Though it changes
To various differing ranges
Rush of light floods in
Through eyes shut sensed
Awaken by unrelenting brightness
Streaming steady, endlessly inward
Bathing the room in light
Unavoidable, inevitable
Escapes a moan of despair
Eyes forced to contradictions
No longer able to drift back to sleep
Yet wanting nothing more than escape
The blinding intensity of the rays
Outlining luminosity a ton
Uncovering the whites
Of the eyes, and the iris bright
Lifting the blanketing lids covering
The warmth of the darkness and night
During sleep, comfort stripped
Away from dreaming
