Night

Bright light dims to a faded glow,
across the horizon, golden haze tapers
To a dwindling hush.

O wonderful Night! O tranquil peace!
Reveal your secrets, unravel the silence,
let the ravens break from their misfit call.

Why must the dolor, the tears, the holler,
be but a piteous demise
To the glorious Night?

Twilight come, day please cease!
The sleepy and serene,
are not ready for the raucous sun.
