Dusk Til Dawn

As the sun begins its journey
Darkness overtakes the light
The moon wakes from its slumber
As it ushers in the night

The sun gives up its glorious hold
As the moon begins to rise
The pinkish glow of defiance
As they battle to own the skies

But the moon remains persistent
In its quest to gain control
While the sun looks for a resting place
To hide its radiant glow

The moon becomes impatient
And calls for the stars to appear
The sun is growing weary
For it knows its time is near

The stars reflect the moonlight
As the sun is seen no more
Each night, this battle rages
Just like the one before

The sun returns at dawn 
To reclaim its rightful place
But the moon will rise at nightfall
As the sun sets in disgrace

A never ending battle. No winner and no loser. Mother natures sense of humor! Well scripted, Larry. Nice job.
