hello to the night

Once again the brightness of our day

Has begun, like a passing breath, to fade further away.

Diamond stars have begun to paint our sky.

As we all say goodbye

To the brightness that once lit

Every area of the world where we sit.

And the moonlight shines so bright

That it creates such an amazing sight.

Out in the quiet just you and me

Leaning against a dark oak tree.

Listening to the sounds of the night.

Anxiously awaiting the eventual morning light.
