A New Day

The stars sparkled in the sapphire sky,
As a moonbeam shimmered through the trees,
The leaves crackled beneath our feet,
And the forest rustled in the breeze.

The flickering light played tricks with our minds,
And the darkness swarmed and surged.
Sounds came from within the woods,
But we could not be deterred

When the sun arose from beneath the vale,
The birds awakened the dawn,
The shadows and shapes came into the light,
And took on their true form.
