The Night

when the night is nowhere to be seen

and its whisper is catching you cold

run for the hills of the day

where light is plentifull

and will always remain

the night then, will stop breathing

and never come again

when the night was nowhere to be seen

and its whisper was catching you cold

(c) JR. 2025

Darkness stirs

when the night has fallen and darkness stirs

is there something out there I don't know about

is it something I should worry about

we,...as a people should worry about

when the night has fallen and darkness stirs

a truth is not spoken, a truth is not heard

a truth is ignored, suppressed, sacrificed

talked and lied about

is,... something we should worry about

is,...something we should fight for

to regain and return it to its naturel right

it should be reinstated and again recognised

and well into the end of time

A stranger you don't want to meet

when the night has come for him

his feelings are at a point of no return

and looking back is no longer an option

now darkness has become his best friend

giving him its advice to look ahead

at what can and can be as the knowledge

of its distance is not yet known

or has settled in to guide him

he knows sometimes

life can be that stranger

you don't want to meet

as the night comes for him

with its peaceful sleep

Sunrise in the morning

when the night comes for me

and its darkness is the pain I feel

when my heart freezes over

'cause you're no longer

my sunrise in the morning

I so much want to see

you're gone God knows where

you made a retreat I couldn't foresee

somewhere out there living the good life

wanting to be free

and I'm out here, wondering

what went wrong, what did I miss

what heartbeat became unreal

I have no answers

I'm not trying to find them

'cause there's no reason to explain

what happened here

so I'm picking up the pieces

packing suitcases, not coming back

no more sunrises, no more mornings

to meet

and I do what I always do

moving on, closing doors

opening new ones

no use wondering about the why's

the world is a great place to be

always new oppertunities  to meet

that's how I look at life

feelin' just fine
