Haikus of the Night

The sun is setting Slips into obscurity Now it is twilight Day’s last glow fades Deep blue saturates the earth Turning darker shades Darkness approaches Stars pop out by the minute Twinkle, little star Starkness now darkness The landscape curtsies to murk And thus takes its leave No shadow in sight But of glow from the heavens And pinpoints of light Dotting the expanse Harmonious symphony Thousands at a glance A motionless dance Dancing wildly at a stance An epiphany No noise, silent, still Euphonious mystery In silent dead chill Each one to retire Some turning in for the night others climb higher An odd burning blaze Constellations in a maze A long-distant fire Then a sudden hint The party not long to last A faint bluish tint Then stronger lit skies Night’s reign is long and past Tomorrow’s approach The show concluded The stars now bow and exit The set is torn down Lighter, brighter, dawn Blackness, from sight, gone The night is worn out A different tune now sung Birds chirp and await the sun Faint shadows commence Now the day’s great song The sun comes galloping along With the speed of light Slowly revolving Odd circular reasoning To do yet again
