The days are long, seamless sunlit scenes
And then, abruptly, night
Darkness descends with force and speed
We are left floating in a land
Swimming underneath stars
Seeing nothing but the pin pricks of light above
Unexpectedly in the night
A faded consistent light
On the horizon
Steady in its yellow comfort
A landmark far away
Signalling life in the night
A table lit for dinner
Familial discussion
A homestead in this lonely desert.
