Darkness Alone is the Song

When cars become bedrooms,

and sidewalks undress,

plus the streetlights practice for day;

the sky is full when the pathways dry up,

and most folks are out of the way.

Some folks never see it,

that one time of the night,

it's a fraction of Twilight, so quick!

the ones of the Night,

are out and about,

the unique, and the emotionally sick.

But, there's really true "magic",

at this time of Twilight,

when children spread giggles in dreams;

it's before something happens,

this time of the day,

when the cats start to play, so it seems.

Sometime, if you're up

at this time of the night,

when the shadows play tricks with your head;

it's likely "okay",

you've had a long day,

you're probably dreaming in bed.

The Night speaks in your ear,

this gloomtime exists,

as the nightcrews specifically toil on;

it's "bewitchment delight",

this time of the night,

where darkness alone, is the song.
