THE NIGHT

THE NIGHT

 

if the night was without air

it couldn't breathe

it couldn't share

it couldn't stand beneath the moon

and sing a song or hum a tune

 

if the night was without form

it couldn't be bent

it couldn't be torn

it couldn't speak to talk or rant

it couldn't run and it couldn't pant

 

if it had no eyes to see the light

if it had no hands to do what's right

no ears to hear no tongue to tell

how sweet it is with nose to smell

 

if the night was without life

it would be up the creek

it would be out of sight

with no chance for it to be

remembered through eternity

 

the night
