Day Light, Dark Night

There’s nobody here,
Everyone moved on ago less than a year.
We think that’s okay
        – we being the dust that settles each day.
        It’s only fair,
        For no sound could we hear
        Even if we had ears.

They left their lives behind,
The memory collects like a photo of time.
We think that’s okay
Even without the light of day.
It’s only fair,
We have nothing to give
        – Who could argue with this?

        They answered the call of morning
        And lost all that was once shared,
        When pride was held for the orning
        A chill of fear swept through here.

        Gathering their dreams together
        They shook away that in which we now bathe,
        What doesn’t work in hope of forever
        Will for be prayed on another day.

There’s nobody here
But the widening gaps of despair.
It’s so obvious now
Why the dark of night was never allowed.
It’s only right
We be left without light,
Age is our disease once love has lost sight.


  • Auckland (circa 1998)
