midwinter

day is passing the dawn approaches
sun falls in the underground
for a moment.. just before it leaves the sky
it seems as morning would have came
light so bright shines in the eyes
hope and joy of newcoming day

just before it dives under
hope gets lit and it seems all right

for a moment it seems

but then as earth swallows the sun
light's blown off by the lips of night
and the hope that brightness gave
a moment before it died
was nothing but a lie
