Dark Game

shadows stretch with the sinking sun,
setting over the soccer ball ending the fun,
the team walks to the edge of the grass,
feeling the muscles tension to their ass,
still kicking the ball lightly around,
then above comes a strange humming sound,
the lights of the field switch on bright,
giving them more time to play in the light,
then run back on the field calling out,
kicking the ball and giving a shout,
the lights go out as one guy sighs,
they all stare above at the skies,
waiting then deciding to leave,
as one walks he blows his nose on his sleeve,
the lights come back on again,
walking back they switch off being a pain,
sighs and anger grow in the players,
as one kicks the grass layers,
climbing into their cars parked by the side,
the lights come back on as they decide,
giving up they all start their cars the same,
but the passion fills them to keep playing the game,
walking back on the field they continue to play,
they finish their game as this time the lights stay.
