Shadow Hamilton Poet I do not know?

Day To Night and Back

I watch the sun grow dim,
as it passes through the sky.
Glowing rays start to fade away.
Dipping its beams over the ocean.
Sinking down into its watery depths.
The day now turns to dusk.

Slowly the moon peeks out,
casting earth with silvery light.
Stars blaze in full glory.
Now the nocturnal beings appearing.
Rustling noises emerge from undergrowth.

Owls can be heard,
their hoots ringing out.
A whoosh of wings,
as they sweep by.

Innoxiously night passes.
Dawn creeps in.
Chasing shadows away.

Sun rises,
dawn becomes

Day.
