The night is…

A black blanket covering the world
A wall keeping the light out
A battle between light and dark
A place where nocturnal creatures come to life
A time for young animals to play
Time for predators to devour their prey
A time when leaves fall and kiss the ground
A time when a sparkling moon rules over fireworks and bonfires

A time when I am tucked up in my cosy red bed
safe from the night
