When the Day Is Done
by John Herlihy
When the day is done,
Down upon the earth.
New day sure to come,
A new day as new birth.
When the night is done,
Other nights in the wings.
Starlight in darkness spun,
As night’s soul gently sings.
Thus, life quietly goes on,
Far down upon the earth.
The globe forever spins on,
An ageless cycle of rebirth.
As peaceful as the day long,
Enduring as an endless song.

Seriously…
All life evolved with approximately half of every day in cool darkness and the other half in bright sun. There are some of us who are nocturnal and most of us who are awake during the day.
For those of us who rest at night, it's a time for us to let our bodies recharge and our minds re-organize the previous day and put it into our memory cells…often through dreams.
