Night Comes Softly

Just out of reach...

Night comes softly over the horizon,
Immersed in his indulgence,
Inherited by the Day long since
Spent tempting the dark with Sunshine.
Day giggles out her Song,
Winks once before slipping past
His fingertips, almost tenderly touched
As the Night whispers to the moon his Orison.

A lovely personification of day passing into night. I felt like a peaceful observer to this elegant piece. Well done!
God Bless :)

never a day goes by when I want to sit and wonder why how time flies and day becomes night the end of
another 24 hours as night sings his song.

A nice glimpse at the relationship between day and night, watch your adverbs, you have two between eight lines. The last line brought this one home, beautiful, been a long time since I seen the word Orison. Well Done, James.
