New Beginnings... (a poem)

Day makes way for night
Darkness emerges from the light
Flowers of midnight bloom
The petals slumber, fold to cocoon.

Creatures of night rejoice in song
Their voices familiar to those who belong
Exclusive of the spirits of day
The souls of twilight now guide the way.

From the bliss of joy to the depths of sorrow
Without the day, night could not bring tomorrow
The moon and his fiery bride entwined
Give birth to both darkness and sunshine.
