Beauty and Light

Dusk was falling... 
The butterflies twinkled in to nothing 
For, in twilight, 
beauty was calling 

The strangest things to see... 
in a world... 
Neither day 
Neither night 
Beauty and light 

Butterflies, so blue, 
in twilight... 
Became another hue, 
then twinkled in the night 

Iridescent birds glowed 
For, at twilight 
Being neither day 
Neither night 
Strangest magic bestowed 

Clouds, rosy red and pink 
The sun, dipping down 
Becoming a night 
The stars beginning to blink 
Beauty and light 

In the land of beauty and light 
Neither day 
Neither night 
The strangest things could be seen 
Butterflies of every hue 
Birds aglow 
In a world... 
I wanted to show 
I wanted to show you
