How silent is the night as the hours drift away
How lonely it is as each hour adds upon another and sleep is not found
The stars though are happy to shine forever
I watch as they waltz the heavens and I admire their freedom
The Moon seems to doze sleepily and I wish I could join in
But Morpheus denies me respite
I have naught but the night sounds to keep me company
The wind in the trees whisper a quiet lullaby in concert with a few lonely crickets
Sounds as simple and beautifull as any composer could ever write
Slowly the night sky fades from black to deepest midnight blue
Dawn will come soon, this I know and still sleep is denied to me
The night moves on and the sky lightens with the first pale rosey blush of Sunrise
Eyes heavy lidded now at last close with the first piercing red gold of the Sun and a new day
My last thoughts are of the next rise of the Moon in the darkened sky
It makes me wish sleep would elude me again
So I could see another dark nights display
