Hinderance

The sun shades the world
everything hidden behind a cloak 
only at dusk does it begin to come alive
The dark emerges
chasing me into the unknown
further and further away from the light,
their light.
That's why they hide,
they know,
why can't I?
They know
otherwise they'd still be here
instead of up there,
left to do nothing but glimmer
hoping there isn't another by tomorrow.
What lies in the depths,
where their light dies,
where they died,
only they know...
