Darker, Lighter

The darker the night
The colder the wind
The sharper the bite
Of the teeth in your skin

The more rancid the air
The harsher the monsoon
The more red the stare
Of the man on the moon

The faster the sun
Comes up in the day
The brighter the sky
Burns those things away

The bluer the atmosphere
The greener the grass
The happier that you are here
To veiw all of this

The lighter the night
The warmer the wind
The gentler the flight
Of the snowflakes on your skin

Life is what you make of it
