Darkness To Dawn

Between the darkness and the dawn,
There lies a different zone.
No sun shines in this darkness,
It holds it's own tone.

Here birds sleep, fatigued from flight,
And street lights must be on.
Then people greet with a good night,
While all are looking wan.

There are no children crying,
For they are tucked in bed.
And lovers now are sighing,
As goodnight they dread.

Before you even realize,
As this dark zone you leave.
The sun is rising in the skies,
You've just passed the eve.
Of a bright new tomorrow.
