When shadows fall


Evening, and the shadows fall 
Even as the last rays of light 
Ignite the distant treetops. 
Time to head home; to scurry 
Like the rabbit and the fox 
 To our respective burrows 
And say a prayer for all who have 
No homes to return to; 
That they may at least find someplace 
Warm and dry.
