Day slides into night
time seems to stop
as the world is enveloped
in darkness
Moonlight shimmers
through the trees
casting its shadow
on the frozen ground
Ebony fingers reach out
grasping the night
as if to hold it forever
slowly fading
as the sun appears
Shadows lose their strength
and let go of night
Quietly
the word
wakes
