Silver stars deign to glow
When the sun decides to hide,
The moon finally allowed to show,
The blue sky it's time to bide.

When transparent ghosts and spirits fly,
And when young children stay home,
While mothers continue to hush the cry,
And good dreams take their time to roam.

As time passes the sun shifts,
Pushing back it's celestial queen,
Back far into the dark rifts,
From human eyes it remains unseen.
Permitted life is the night,
If it bows down to the light.
