Night in Daylight’s Cloak

Night in Daylight’s Cloak
As night is always somewhere upon our spinning globe,
It’s shadows somehow darken our planet’s spinning strobe.
When stars appear up in the sky away from daylight’s robe,
Then dreams will fill our sleep tonight within our frontal lobe.
Awake we are in daylight to seek our fame and hope,
It’s sad to say that sometimes we fail in fear and scope.
When day is done we rest our head with twilight to elope,
It’s just some simple shuteye so tomorrow we may cope.
The night is here upon us and we are barely woke,
We spend our nights in slumber to carry daylight’s yoke.
Near half our life is sleeping for which the night has spoke,
The rest of life is reaching for night in daylight’s cloak.
Thank you for taking the time to read my ramblings!

Beautiful post.....upvoted and followed
@wajishah,
Thank you for your comment. Much appreciated!
@Lymmerik
Brilliant poem, so well written and rounded of.
I love the way that little remnants of it stay behind in ones thoughts so that you are still pondering on the poem long after you have stopped reading.
Well Done!
@breezin,
Thanks for the compliment. I love writing, so this one has been in my brain for a while and I just had to write it for this contest.
@Lymmerik
Well I hope to read a lot more!
