The Owl's Purple Night

As dusk begins to paint the sky In hues of purple, blue and gray A breeze blows by with gentle sigh Bringing in the close of day Out comes the moon, a glowing light That casts its beams on fields below And one by one, the fireflies bright Begin their flashing nighttime show They flit and float on wisps of air Like fairies dancing in the night Their lantern glow without compare Amid the purple sky so bright The wind lightly rustles through the trees As critters scurry to their beds And owls begin their lonesome wheeze As daytime's light now flees The world transformed to shadows deep Where sparkling bugs send Morse code beams As nature slumbers, stars will keep Their watchful eye on lightning dreams A canvas rich of calming sights Unfolds on this late summer night When breezes play and fireflies light The land in gradients of purple light
