Night Poem by Caroline S. P. Keller

It is where I can escape
From the day and the light
I’m not a fan of the sun
But the coolness of the night

The brightness of the day
Always tend to hurt my eyes
It’s the sun that does it
Believe me, I don’t tell lies

The night is so beautiful
With the sights and the sound
You would be amazed
At the peacefulness I have found

If only the night
Wouldn’t have to go
And leave me all alone
To fend against my foe

Now I have to spend all day
Waiting in the shade
Thinking about last night
Wishing it had stayed

The sun it burns me
And leave marks on my skin
But what did I do to deserve this?
Have I committed some kind of sin?

I leap for joy
For it is finally the afternoon
Now I know in my mind
That the night is coming soon

I gulp down my dinner
And pack my bags
Bought my new telescioe
And tore off its’ tags

I got in my car
And drove for hours
Stopped on top of a hill
That was filled with a bunch of flowers

It is finally night time
And I can see the stars
If I look through my telescope
Maybe I could see Mars

This is my life
The night is what I love
That passion I have
Is learning what is above
