Night is not like the day time,
when the sun rises,

NIGHTFALL.

Night is not like day that is hot,
night is dull,
and cannot read and write.

night is not like the day when people walk,
night is when people sleep to wake,
night is not like the time of loud lullaby.

night is not like the day,
that is pure and holy,
night is diabolic,
and makes friends fiends.

night is not like the day,
when people work as if they will die,
night is when people sleep,
as if they were dead,

night is not when people pursue dreams,
night is when people dream dreams,
night is not when people gather,
night is when we have dark weather.


AS NIGHT FALLS,
WE ALL FALL ASLEEP,
MAKING SLEEP THE ORDER OF THE DAY.
