Night Lights

The lights at night have much to say a different story than the day They shine and glisten here and there in coolness of the evening air The street lamps glow to light the way as flashing neon colors play White ones come and red ones go as tiny cars drive to and fro Greens and yellows reds and blues from different houses many hues White beams flicker dim to bright from tv sets turned on tonight People moving all about as lights turn on and then go out In one house a red shade glows while further on a blue one shows On the distant hills around tiny flashing dots abound A dimly glowing alleyway night time secrets kept from day A lamp post lights a walkway to a red front door that welcomes you There's something special in the sight of cozy darkness specked in white Up above, the moon does glow and dazzling stars put on a show Life continues through the night a glittering, sparkling, wondrous sight In the earth and sky above the spectacle I truly love While on a hillside looking down, are the night lights of my town
