As the evening comes
As the evening comes to bring the closing of the day,
Nature starts to settle down as the light fades away.
Another busy day is over, it’s time to rest,
As the sun slowly fades from sight, sinking in the west
The rabbits return to their barrows deep underground,
Just nibbled remains of grasses left scattered around.
The birds sing their final song as the dusk settles deep,
Settling on the bushes and trees to go to sleep.
The squirrels climb into their holes as the night descends,
For the creatures of the day, it’s now that their day ends.
As the evening comes to bring the starting of the night,
The creatures of the day have all disappeared from sight.
The world belongs to the moonlight and the stars up high.
The bats begin to wake up, spread out their wings and fly,
Sending out their echoes as they seek their food to eat.
The foxes start their hunting, so agile on their feet.
The hedgehogs are rummaging for insects in the lawn.
The owls go hunting silently from dusk until dawn.
Nature never knows stillness, only its cast gets changed.
As the evening comes, so nature just gets rearranged.
