Night Cap
the weary sun slowly retired
to the waiting horizon
completing his daily chores
and his tomorrow assured
the night gracefully watched
the fingernail moon peaking out
and clouds teased
as her circadian struggle
to fulfillment began
the carnival of night creatures
celebrated their liberation
and the flora welcomed cooling dew
as ebony aromas filled the air:
capturing the nocturnal scene
we surrendered
savoring sweet sable dreams
