Haikus of the Night
The sun is setting
Slips into obscurity
Now it is twilight
Day’s last glow fades
Deep blue saturates the earth
Turning darker shades
Darkness approaches
Stars pop out by the minute
Twinkle, little star
Starkness now darkness
The landscape curtsies to murk
And thus takes its leave
No shadow in sight
But of glow from the heavens
And pinpoints of light
Dotting the expanse
Harmonious symphony
Thousands at a glance
A motionless dance
Dancing wildly at a stance
An epiphany
No noise, silent, still
Euphonious mystery
In silent dead chill
Each one to retire
Some turning in for the night
others climb higher
An odd burning blaze
Constellations in a maze
A long-distant fire
Then a sudden hint
The party not long to last
A faint bluish tint
Then stronger lit skies
Night’s reign is long and past
Tomorrow’s approach
The show concluded
The stars now bow and exit
The set is torn down
Lighter, brighter, dawn
Blackness, from sight, gone
The night is worn out
A different tune now sung
Birds chirp and await the sun
Faint shadows commence
Now the day’s great song
The sun comes galloping along
With the speed of light
Slowly revolving
Odd circular reasoning
To do yet again
