Night Falls

Venus tumbles 

into a crescent moon

won’t be long now

coming too soon

for the multitudes 

the poor huddled masses 

come all ye faithful 

heed the words 

of the master

the universal mind 

coming through you
in spectral light waves 

unseen to the eye

deep in the heart of us
yet we are still apart 

as if particles in space 

moving further away 

like the galaxies only

to find there was never

a reason or rhyme for

the crime of the century

the birth of the cool 

these are things worth 

wondering about 

the wonder of it all 

as night falls
