Night's Symphony

Nightfall brings with it a lustrous light,
Like teardrops from the heavenly moon
As it watches both the world of death
And the enduring world of life
In a realm enthralled by a vision,
Mesmerized by one single echo.

It is a harmonic echo,
A symphony of nature's light
Resonating through the vision.
It calls eerily underneath the moon,
A reminder that in this life
There is eternally a hint of death.

The twilight brings with it a death,
The mourning of a soul just an echo
Fading into the sounds of life.
The creatures underneath the light,
Underneath the cold and dark moon,
Live on in nature's vision.

Once more life is stirred into the vision;
Crickets sing the eulogy of death,
Fish swim through a reflection of the moon,
The howl of a wolf is a haunting echo,
And the flicker of an owl's wing a fading light.
Everything is one with life.

Everything has a touch of life
Breathed into it from the vision;
The leaves dance by the star's light,
The rain weeps a hymn of death,
And the wind plays an instrumental echo.
Night whispers to the moon.

During a moment enlightened by a moon
In a forgotten realm of life,
A symphony is born from an echo.
Night and life are a conjured vision,
A thought beyond the realm of death
Painted in alluring strokes of light.

Underneath a moon so vast there is a vision,
The beauty of life twisting with that of death,
An echo of the world in penumbral light.
