As the sun surrenders to the horizon to sleep
Giving over to darkness the land to keep
Creeping stillness the land does embrace
A silent dance of elegant extraordinary grace
Invading every crevice with its sense of calm
Every sense embraced in its cold unseen palm
Bringing with it a reluctant yield
Over all creatures who cling to the shield
Of warmth and happiness brought on by the sun
Dark and blank over the land does it run
Smothering all with its stifling cloak
Laughing silently at their pettiness like a joke
'til sunrise where night clings to the land in vain
Relieving it of its watch over its domain
Does the sun open its sleepy glowing eye
And silently rises to wish the night goodbye

you watched me bleed you watched me die you watched me not even a bat of your eye
