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.
Shadows merge as the sun begins to shrink
and day darkens, for Dusk is on the brink.
A crescent moon glows in a starry sky,
resembling 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,
while dappling silhouettes in blackest ink.
And the sound of crickets chirping nearby,
stridulating for mates hidden in place;
adds sound to this nighttime phenomenon.
