Twilight To Dawn

He woke up and it was twilight The sky was no longer bright He wondered and pondered many things While the crickets began to sing He did not remember the day And did not look forward to the night He wished for time to delay Although he knew it was not right He barely noticed the time pass As he peered into an empty glass Realizing he did not want a drink He felt his eyelids sink When his eyes opened again He heard birds sing It was a beautiful dawn And a bright day was born
