Night And Cloud

nighttime clouds painted black the colors that I knew just yesterday the chaos of the stars tonight I know cannot break through my bleak dismay a silence palpable has come to pour its emptiness into the dark until I hear the dawn's first bird who brings some tenderness with his remark he knows the night will always pass to bring a grand new day I know he's right the sun will come with every hue of vision on display in shining light oh I have seen some grief before my window like a wall that had no view that's when I learned if I just wait and also give my all I make it through
