The darkness descends on the unsuspecting

populace just waiting to make its move.

Suddenly, it gets you when you least suspect it

and no amount of running can quell it.

But when the petrichor sets in and the clouds

retreat to fight another day,

the everglow emerges from its slumber

and lights up the world.

Because that’s all it knows

and we always soak it in wherever and whenever it glows.
