Cities gleam with a golden glow

Bathe light on blue bleak hues of sorrow

The sky, where diamonds bathe

Can no longer carry how the sapiens behave

So He hides his jewels until the morrow

Dulling the Night so it appears hollow

Succumbing to city lights cloaking His Spirit

Night is quiet, not even a ribbit

However deep in the woods where the wilds lay

Where the crickets chirp

Where the animals pray

Lies the hidden diamonds of the night

A sea full of gems that shine so bright

They lay here in evermore

“O Guardian Night,

Why are you knocking at our door?”

The animals josh, the animals roar

“I, Night, have come knocking at your door

My jewelled stars safe in your care

Here in the woods where they can breath air

Mankind shut me out after years of my share

In navigation and calendars and put grays in My hair”

“I curse mankind with one star in my sky

And only in these woods where you can see the eye

Of Andromeda, my Orion, and Polaris

The humans can no longer oppress us”

For nature do not betray

Yet the Night sky is starting to decay
