Songs In The Night

Songs In The Night

Twilight smiles as it says goodbye to this day

Opening its arms to willingly greet the night

This day is coming to an end as the sun sets

Refracted light, scatters across the horizon

It's golden ray soon gives way to another beauty 

The one that comes when lovers by a fire 

While in a close intimate embrace look up in desire

Seeing the moon whose light comes not of her own

A reflection shown, telling all that the night is just as beautiful 

As supple skin, faces gently kissed by her light 

Soon night watchers will show this to us as voices are heard

There is much nocturnal activity if one cares to peer through the night 

There is light even in the dark, those are the songs we hear

They come from watchers of the night, who soon take flight

Those thrown into prisons who while there were still free to sing

The night still has light for those willing enough to see it

Night will come for all just as the day wends it's way 

Will we add light in the dark, with joy in our hearts

Still lift our voices as the darkness of night waits to hear 

A certain song of praise, rising up so loud, caused others to cheer

See the chains of all that keep us bound willingly fall off
