bedtime for the birds as night cloaks the earth
then the moon smiles at the sun's birth
faceless night cowers underneath
the ever-changing moonlit sky
can you believe the way night falls away
as the sun starts a new day?
plants raise their leaves as the sun waves goodbye
dusk greets the horizon as day fades
black lines bend round a cityscape
while trailing off in the sunset's wake
i can foresee that dawn will bring the light
as the sun gives way to night
