Tonight

 Say goodbye

to the day –

it was only a day anyway.

we have tonight,

with the moon –

remember?

Don’t close your eyes yet;

the crickets have just started singing

and the stars have brought out their best

just for you.

Say hello

to the whisper of the night,

the chill of the air;

the fireflies were waiting

for you –

remember?

Run barefoot in the dew-drop grass,

forget about the sun and her stress –

this is tonight,

not today.
