Outside there is darkness
in the still of the night
Only the stars and the moon
share their shimmers of light.

Daybreak brings radiance
from the golden bright sun
as a new day of living
has only just begun.

The trees begin swaying
as a gentle breeze fills the air.
The leaves appear taunting
as though on a dare.

Colors are everywhere
as flowers start to bloom
just like a rainbow
they have plenty of room.

Streets become busy
as people head off to places.
Parks fill with children
a look of joy on their faces.

As quick as it started
it will come to an end.
The cycle of life continues
as dusk settles in.

Outside there is darkness
in the still of the night......
