the world is quiet as it sleeps under the spell of the darkness.
the breath of the sleeping giant whispers through the trees.
an owl flies through the air
silent as the moon
tucked under the blanket of stars it calls home.
the sun rises
waking the world with birdsong and warmth
the moon hides, cowering before the sun
and the stars disappear outshone
the sleeping giant awakens
and the silence dies.
