The evening skies seemed to be painted with
Midnight blackened hues
Such beauty I discovered in the darkness looming
For after the darkness must come such light
Blinding almost debilitating in brilliance
So even though, on this night
No stars have made their presence
My spirit of optimism
Recognizes such overwhelming radiance
In the light that's yet to come
