renewed at daybreak

Once prismatic brilliance;
brilliant only through borrowed light.

Alone again in darkness, gleaming;
glum, instant companion of a night -

blind to grief and deaf to joy,
save by pristine thought on lone-ward height.

Ever calling, feline caterwauling;
In the distance horizon burning bright.

That sparkle in the eye is rekindled; 
Fully renewed at the break of day.

sleep on it, they say

Once prismatic brilliance;
brilliant only through borrowed light.

Alone again in darkness, gleaming;
glum, instant companion of night -

blind to grief and deaf to joy,
save by song on lone-ward height.

Ever calling, feline caterwauling;
In distant horizon, burning bright.

That sparkle in the eye is rekindled; Fully renewed, at dawn made right.
