Night Vigil




The sun's light fades, grows weak and dim
as evening slowly falls
Radiant stars come wandering in
to peek through dusk's misty gauze


Bright full moon then marches forth
with smiling, twinkling face,
and parts the luminescent veil
to take his rightful place


As through the night, they stand their guard
these patient stars and moon
Then, at dawn, they greet the sun
as he relieves night's gloom
