Day Flights and Silent Nights
Without a sound, the daylight has been arrested.
With never a struggle, day sounds are captured.
The sun has departed, and the moon has started.
The stars sparkle and the silence startles.
No school bell rings.
The birds do sing.
Missing are the fog horns,
guiding ships on early morns.
The cool breezes of the Pacific;
and those silent nights are terrific.
Bright lights must take their flight,
making way for soothing peaceful nights. Say goodbye to the loud sounds of the day.
They are doomed to a temporary imprisonment.
It’s only humane and fair for it to be this way.
Sun and sounds return tomorrow, resuming their employment.
Tonight, the moon and stars are here for your delight.
Sleep well my friend, and to you, I say, "Good night".
