Night's Own |Sunbeams shimmer You're slipping away Time hast run out for This last light of day Shutters have been drawn Doors have been locked tight Street lights flicker on Welcoming the night Birds have stopped singing And retired to their nest Tucked beaks under wings Safe and ready to rest The night's cold tendrils begin To snake their way out Piercing any soul that Dares to wander about And so I make my way home The place where I'll stay Up until the night Has been replaced by day
