After Hours

The night the wind...blew
The sky turned grey from blue
As birds felt free fond of a feeling
Their feathers often knew

To such a night I give a smile
Flowers dance for a while
Before the moon illuminates
The sun descends in style

The soil combs it's grassy hair
A chlorophylic perm is rare
Sly, smooth, and still the night owl sits
With sober eyes that stare

Simplistic stars sign autographs
With scientific math
Teaching the souls that see them shine
A constellations' path

Behind the light the dark stood still
Upon a hallow hill
Delighted with the dawn of dreams
And memories to fill

As birds felt free fond of a feeling
Their feathers often knew
The sky turned grey from blue
The night the wind...blew
