Night Follows Day

A cricket's trill signals nightfall: Dusk drains color, and all looks stark. And Nature dons a misty shawl, as fireflies flicker in the dark. While shadows spread: the sun bleeds red. An interrogative owl's call: implies it needs a question mark. And shifting shadows merge and sprawl to the baying of a dog's bark. Night follows day: that's Nature's way.
