Achromatic Skies

Many moons have bound this heart
To one unearthly star
Fostered feelings in the light
And cradled dreams afar

Yet altered in the light of morn
And scattered by the day
Are moments lost in time forlorn
Adrift in disarray

Awaiting that untimely sleep
Of sunlight’s daily chore
For achromatic skies to keep
Alive the nights before

The daily dance of sun and moon
Of seasons dark and light
Of feelings colored sad maroon
Rekindled in the night
