After Dark

The song of crickets
Soothes my ears
The touch of night
Wipes my tears

The twinkle of stars
Calms me down
Eyes shining brightly
As I lay on the ground

The inky black sky
I commit it to memory
Everything seems beautiful
Wether it's a rock or a tree.

Unravel the darkness
Secrets are revealed
The clock strikes midnight
In its silence night wields

At night we dream
Though sleepless is our kind
Whispered stories
Find their way to our mind

Hours past midnight
When the silence is deep.
People like us
Don't want to sleep

How can we sleep
When it's the best at night,
While we can't see clear,
In sun's bright light
