Reflections

It's late at night, i'm ready for bed
         With lonely thoughts that dance in my head
         The day has gone and set with the sun
       Only memories are left, from all that was done
        It's hopes, dreams, labors and woes
      All that was learned of whats left to know


         All in a lifetime can pass in a day
        they waltz by from work or from play
        All that remains are the moon and the stars
       To show that night breeds light from afar
        Not merely silence from all that sleeps
      But sounds from nature's pets that fly and creep
       
          As the stars twinkle and the moon shines
        I contemplate the meaning of what's yours and mine
            A stillness is heard at the hour of dawn
          Only to awaken to a turn and a yawn

              To begin a new day under the sun
           And share in it's glory with everyone!
