Expression of Nighttime
The dark hours of sleep, caught in dreams,
Night terrors, visions of design.
Brilliance that gleams,
Fantasy that schemes,
Hope dies, for you to redefine.
Streams of stars shine from dusk to dawn,
Ambitions divine come alive,
What life to act on,
What view to wait on.
Aspirations at twilight thrive.
