Night

The sun sets, the night noises rise

Even the wind lifts it's greeting

As the soft chorus chants it's way

To ease the load of the day

Singing it's lullaby for the weary world

Enveloped in the deft noise, the chill air,

The lights dot the distance with their own tale

Softly lighting each path and way to rest

Turning down the dew of welcome renewal

To all who are weary, all who need a place

To rest tired heads, arm, body before

The awakening sun, which warms us to busyness

Toward renewed rest.
