Nocturnal Silence

The Sunset faded from orange to red
As the last sunrays from the day are shed
And the warmth of the earth began to die
Until tomorrow when the sun would rise
Now the burning stars illuminate the sky
And the nocturnal creatures begin to fly
Then a moment of silence for all those dead
As every living creature bows their head
