Day Into Night / Night Into Day

 Day Into Night / Night Into Day

Night became day, and day became night,

As dark, dusky clouds blocked the sun’s light.

Then lightning flashed, and thunder rumbled,

As clouds burst, and rain tumbled.

The grateful Earth slaked its thirst, with water pummeled.

Not only did rain end water’s droughty dearth,

It cleansed the air of toxic dirt.

Particulates diluted with air’s cleaning

Eased the breathing of all Earth’s beings,

The freshened air so cool and pleasing.

As spent storm clouds scuttered away,

The shining world again met the light of day.

The world needs skies of both blue and gray.

For both, a word of thanks we pray

As day became night, and night  became day.
