Light recedes behind tall trees;
   The evening sun is set.
Daytime sight and color flees;
   The night will soon be met.

The sky receives the night's soft breeze;
   Its veil of blue is lifted,
Revealing skies that set minds free.
   A veil again is lifted.

Sense now spans the distant stars;
   The day has passed to night.
The world leaps out from short to far
   As if by gaining sight.

Sounds abound in dark and grey;
   The quiet of day is broken,
Revealing thoughts no words convey:
   Forever kept unspoken.
