It is only night
When sunset illumins
The last of the light
Clouds turn to dark
In ebony skies
Casting their shadows
In night’s overt guise
Winds gather softly
Heaving their sighs
Whisked away in a breeze
Back again in reprise
A sweet melody
On the eve, this is night
When sunset illumins
The last of the light

I could not see your sparkle
Heard only your battle cry
Thunderous among the clouds
As your color lit the sky
Blazing in the darkness
Lighting all direction
Shining in the ebony night
The power of insurrection

The night broke
As daylight faded
Behind the shadows
Of yesterday’s warmth
Stars awakened
With a twinkle
Like eyes winking
The promise of more
Yet I wonder
As I close my eyes
Will they diminish
Fizzle away, die
Would this be the end
Of light guiding darkness
Or the beginning
Of darkness coveting day
And I open my eyes

Hidden deep, the mystery lies
Lost in the shadow of night
Beneath the wisp of branches
That sway in the full moon bright
A silent swoop of mighty wings
The raptor on a darkened chase
Sating an ever claiming hunger
He’s eclipsed by this woodland place
A flicker of flight against ebony sky
Undetected in the blackened night
The predator with his conquered stash
Disappears with the morning light

And she sits quietly in the distance
As she paints the skies
A palette of reds and yellows
Against the blue ocean waters
Gently rippling below her
And she glows ever so brightly
Before tucking herself in
For the night
