Softly Now The Light Of Day Poem by Bryan Norton

Softly now the light of day
Fades into a purple sky
In the twilight's closing curtain
Shadows wane before they die

Gypsy moths are gently feeding
Shades of green are turning grey
Whispered voices now receding
Daylight cares are put away

Distant rays of light are gleaming
Diamonds in a star-filled sea
Shining brightly, heaven's beauty
Plays a moonlight melody

Seeking gifts of hidden treasures
Creatures pass and poke the night
In the scheme of new adventures
Children dream in rays of light

Now the summer lawn is feeding
Sunshine draws the morning dew
In the warmth of dawn's new rising
Daylight brings a perfect view.
