Another Day
As a blanket covers the bed
So to do the clouds shroud the skies
Light fades sending the day a bed
Darkness engulfs the terrain below
Echoing in the loud silence
The cries of the wild sing out
A symphony to Mother Nature
Hailing her beauty and strength
The moon exudes its ominous luminosity
Playing hide and seek within the heavens
No glimpse of celestial brilliance
The stars fall silent in the shadows
With a final puff on to the flickering candle
Resounding goodnights exclaimed to all
All memories of the day diminish into slumber
The only voice is the whispering wind
Earth’s inmates sleep as an innocent baby
Comforted in the bosom of dreams
The blanket swaddles the soul
As Another day falls into eternity
