Nature's Dance

Red ball of fire at the edge of the sky
Sinking slowly as its light begins to die

Birds and animals seek shelter in your fading light
Hiding from the cold and fearsome night

Delicate flowers close and fold
Hiding colors long extolled

Stars drift across the darkness 
Giving a beauty to the world’s bleak starkness

Morning comes and the fire ball rises
Lives and colors return in all their many guises

Such is the cycle of night and day
Nature’s dance, an eternal ballet
