Evening Comes So Quietly Poem by Nick Kler

Evening comes on so quietly
As it drinks away
The fire of the burning sunlight

Night reappears yet again
Wearing a sparkling dress
of shining stars tonight

Moon seems dismayed
Suffering from tremendous pain
burning red is its face

Moon, Why don't you?
Tell me a story of the twilight
Sing a song for me tonight

I am so lonely and feeling betrayed
Really hurting on the inside
Why don't you smile for me a little?
Why don't you dance with me tonight?

Your face is so deceiving
All red and shining bright
Night looks so pretty
In the background

Fiery day is finally gone
Evening drank away the fire
Of burning sunlight
And it quietly demised
