Songs of Light, Songs of Shadow

A small bird 
outside my
  window
  sings a song 
which pierces 
the morning air
    The daytime 
is full of songs
of light
   But nightfall always 
arrives
    The sound of
cicadas 
     reaches the ear
on summer nights
   Songs of shadow 
move us in different ways
         Nature has 
opened a door 
    for us
Let yourself 
     pass through it
and you will 
unlock its charms
     Resist and you 
will suffer
     Flowers bloom 
like a fireworks display
   The sun is so distant 
yet it brings 
  us warmth
While the moon 
    brings us 
    some comfort 
   In the pitch - black night
which along with 
   it's blanket of 
     stars
covers this blue orb
    when the solar heat
slowly dies
