_{Daylight:
Caustic to the uncovered eye.
It tugs, dragging away the protective quilt,
A gossamer veil of skin.
Lashing at lenses with tongues of flame,
Harsh glares bite at pupils;
They cower in small spheres,
Irises are exposed and ablaze.

Darkness washes across the burning skies,
The air cools, a numbing breeze.
Silver, pure, shimmering on still pools –
Lights reawaken in the embers.
The ashes crumble and drift away,
Caught in reflections of a luminous sea,
Rippling through the air.}

_{7. Heaven

Yeah, I know that you will probably find absolutely no connection with this to heaven at all. Except for the fact that heaven and the sky are closely related. This is also a mild reference to Byron's 'She Walks in Beauty' which states that Night is more beautiful, more pure that daylight, which is far to brash and bright.

'which heaven to gaudy day denies'

I was pretty much going for the same idea with this poem. I hope you like it - feedback is very much appreciated.}
