Night Skies
Constantly travelling around this Earth
Just ahead of where the sunshine lies
Where in every culture nightmares give birth
Is the splendor of the Nighttime skies
To those who stand in just one place
Night skies seem to come and go
But it travels around in a circular race
With a swift and clever flow
When you the nighttime sky don’t see
Others are wrapped in its dark embrace
And when you look up into its infinity
Sun shines on the others' face
So please enjoy our nighttime sky
When it comes around to you again
And know that when it passes you by
It comes to me, my friend
