Who Colors the Nighttime Skies? by Joseph B St John

Who colors the nighttime skies?

Who hangs the morning’s dawn?

 

Somewhere between Heaven and Hell

Lies the cold reality of life.

A moment of chance sits in the balance.

 

A second holds forever

And forever is never long enough.

Minutes turn to days as each hour passes away.

 

Time, a friend and an enemy,

ticks carelessly away.

A movement on the watch encompasses so much.

 

Who colors the nighttime skies?

Who hangs the morning’s dawn?
