The night shall reign

The gloom that fills the night
You wish to "conquer" with light
To make the night into day
You strip its treasures away.
When you see only that which is bad
For you I feel so sad
What you see not is its pleasures
That in the light are hard to measure
how can you describe star filled sky,
With a full moon lighting its way
When the sun blots out your vision
And takes the night's beauty away.
I would rather sit and stare
At the dark sky at 1 o'clock
Then be down at the marina at night
Just to see the sun over the dock.
Each in their own right,
So keep the day separate from night
