Listen to the trees laughing in delight
as brisk breezes tickle their leaves at night.
And watch fireflies signaling love with light
that they flicker on and off in full flight,
creating a somewhat surreal sight.
As twilight tints alabaster clouds pink,
a scarlet sun silently starts to sink.
And silhouettes merge; the sun seems to shrink
as dusk darkens, and night is on the brink.
A crescent moon glows in a starry sky,
looking like a celestial butterfly;
whose beauty's impossible to deny.
Slowly, trillions of stars reveal their face,
peeking through the ebony veil of space.
And daylight awaits the rebirth of Dawn.
Nature dons a tiara of starlight
and dapples shadows with Her blackest ink.
While the sound of crickets chirping nearby,
stridulating for mates hidden someplace;
adds sound to this night-time phenomenon.
