Voices Change By Light

A voice in the darkness, 
  its timbre changes by light
What's pure and pristine at noon
  oft foretells a dark and fearful night

The wise old owl will hoot
   The wary wolf will howl
The mouse will squeak, the bear growl
   Burglars in silence will prowl

It is funny how creepy silence can be in this respect " Burglars in silence will prowl"

Except for Santa Claus... very little good ever happens at night. But it does spur our imaginations. Stay frosty my friend.

David, David, David! I'm sure you can think of one more good thing that happens at night... Now close your eyes and tell me: When are babies made?! lol. ~ Not that I'm about to make any more...
