(2) DAY TO NIGHT 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.
