As day fades to night –

pink kisses clouds

fog gathers and multiplies.

As day fades to night –

Water hurries, water scurries

leaving a wake of debris in its path.

As day fades to night –

spring roars to life with magical sound.

As day fades to night –

gentleness surrounds

and brings peace to the quiet.

As day fades to night –

Owls hoot their intent

while prey moves to safety.

As day fades to night –

Quiet reigns, dark gentleness surrounds,

and a hush quiets the busy-ness of day.
