SteemitPoetryContest #15 What Happens at Night

Hi all! I'm glad to share with you my poem for @terrycraft's Steemit Poetry Contest #15. This week's theme is "Night".

I've thought of a number of themes that than can go with Night including a spooky theme of what happens at night (in the bedroom under the bed, outside the streets where dark shadows are cast, or inside old uninhabited buildings). There's the night that can bring rest to a tired and weary wanderer; the dark night of a soul. And there's that eternal night,

For the stars of heaven and their constellations will not flash forth their light; The sun will be dark when it rises and the moon will not shed its light. -Isaiah 13:10

and the stars of the sky fell to the earth, like unripe figs dropping from a tree shaken by a great wind. -Revelation 6:13

There's also a night that can bring good tidings for tomorrow, and a night that serves as a curtain that closes a chapter and heralds the coming of a new dawn. The following poem is a description of the magical thing that happens to us at night, when we dream. Read on and I hope you enjoy this poem! :)



What Happens at Night


As hills are cast in a silvery light
Sunlight's snuffed with a magical light
The skies are dark, but yet so bright
Studded with diamonds, form such a sight

A welcome haze fogs you and me
Enticing rest, a silent revelry
As we close our eyes, let's flee
Be one with the night's dreaming spree

Warp to worlds of possibilities
High adventure, voyages and quest with no fatalities
Such is a magic a night can cast
Dreams wrapped in memories that fade away fast
