Dusk

The sun is set, 
dew kisses my skin.
The sky darkens 
and the day comes to an end.
The darkness succumbs 
to the light of the moon.
A brand new day 
will be upon the earth soon.
But for now, the fireflies 
laugh as they dance.
I think that star just winked at me, 
so I take another glance.
The man in the moon 
is wearing a big grin.
So I just smile back,
and the day comes to an end.
