Color of the Night

The night is full of colors
veiled in its blackness
within its dark shade
life moves in muted silence

When the world is asleep
night becomes a solace
where peace and silence
take over the business of day

Night shifters work silently
vendors slump in the street corner
music plays in the bar room
as customers take a swig

Behind close doors
secret talk takes place
and clandestine trysts
that only happens at night

Darkness hold secrets
hidden and veiled
from watchful eyes
the color of the night
