The last hour of daylight
Reflects the golden hour
Moments before twilight
Engulfs every flower
Squirrels no longer scamper
Searching for food to store
Birds rest in nearby brambles
Along Nature’s floor
Creatures of the night
Come out to eat and play
Such nocturnal partyers
Sleep through the light of day
Along the horizon
Silhouettes claim the view
Floating as in limbo
Within the blackening hue
Somewhere in the distance
A soft whisper is heard
Sigh of contentment
The one and only word
Ah-h-h-h-h-h!
