Inky blackness of the night
Thousands of stars fade from sight.
Lightning flashes across a dark sky,
A shooting star catches the eye.

Unseen sounds in the night
Quicken hearts and bring fright.
Constellations in the sky
Infinite wonders bring a sigh.

Cool breeze upon your face
A wish for a warm embrace.
Black waters shimmering with white light
Many are the mysteries of the night.
