Night and Day (A poem)



Night. And you stand guard.
Set between me and an enemy I can't imagine.
A ravager taking as much pleasure rending me
as consuming me.
Night. I sleep. You watch and fight. And overcome.

Day. You call me by name and lead me.
You feed and comfort me.
And well-fed, I wander away.
Or I nuzzle you as we rest in choice fields.
Day. Either way, your care finds me. Always.
