The Nature of the Night

The sun went to sleep

The moon now rules the sky

With its bright arrogant shine

The stars wink at the Earth far below them

Carefree and curious

The blanket of black that holds them close

Allowed them to peek out from the covers

But come morning, they will retire to sleep

Same as the moon, with its bright arrogant shine

And sun all-mighty sun will awaken

Until the evening when it feels sleepy again
