Fading Starlight

Starlight fades into
The grey of dawn
The moon vanishes
Replaced by the sun

Stars extinguish
One by one
Blinking out
Just barely out of reach

Slowly, a sleeping world
Awakens to the
Aftermath of endless
Yesterday's

And After today's limited time
Has been spent and done
Night will come again
Bringing dreams to a restless world
