END OF DAY

The bright of day
slowly fades  away -
Dusk  moves in
to cast  a shadowy 
grey over the forested
land, and deep water 
lake. Darkness looms;
It's blackness soon 
to fall upon us
like a theater curtain 
signals  the end 
of  a Broadway play. 
Birds seek their
rest, deer bed down
The earth grows quiet;
A faint whispering of
wind  the only sound
