Darkness Brings

Did you see the full moon?

Did you wish upon the stars?

Did you see the fox run?

Did you hear the hunter with his gun?


Did you hear the fire crackle as it burnt through the night?

Did you feel the warmth that the night air brings?

Did you see the mother rocking her baby to sleep?

Did you hear the garbage man driving down the street?


Did you see the boy kiss the girl?

Did you manage to catch a glimpse of the fish as he jumps?

Did you hear the screech of the car as it spun?

Did you hear his last breath as the man shot his gun?


Did you see the candle shimmer?

Did you hear the whispers of the prayers?

Did you see the reflection of the TV on the glass?

Did you catch the rabbit running through the long wavy grass?


Did you hear the first cries of the calf as its born?

Did you feel the cool breeze of the wind on your cheeks?

Did you see the dark shadows caused by the trees?

Did you hear the child stirring as they had a bad dream?


Did you see the fridge light as she snuck open the door?

Did you feel the drop of water as rain began to fall?

Did you see the flash of the torch as the child read his book?

Did you hear the cry of ecstasy and the bed as it shook?


Did you see the blood run from a wound on a cheek?

Did you hear the crowd as they cheered all together?

Did you see the robber climbing through the window of the house?

Did you see the owner with his bat ready to pounce?


Did you hear the loud whistle of the train?

Did you hear the bottle smash to the ground?

Did you see the mice scurry in the woods as they play?

Did you take time to notice the colours as night turned to day?
