-- Amid Darkness, Stars -– John Herlihy Dawn haunts As the day taunts. Noon crests In empty bird nests. Twilight pretends That the day ends. Total night arrives Only darkness survives. As black as the pupil In the eye of night. It lingers without scruple What happened to light. There behind bars Amid darkness, stars. - - - - - - (c) John Herlihy 3 May 2019

Even in the darkness of night, there is still starlight to keep us in awe of the universe. Loved the 9th and tenth lines.
