Beauty in Darkness

In the night where shadows play,
Silver whispers steal the day.
Moonlight drips on streets of stone,
Turning cold to something known.

Fear may rise and twist your chest,
But even fright can be a guest.
Cracks in walls hold secret gleam,
Darkness wears a quiet dream.

Stars peek out through velvet skies,
Jewels that hide from prying eyes.
Even in the blackest night,
Something blooms in hidden light.

So lean into the shadowed hue,
The dark has wonders meant for you.
Not all is lost when sun departs
The night holds beauty in its heart.
