 Day's curtain falls slowly,
 and fireflies signal
 the opening of a new act.
 Dressed in garments
 of hazy gold,
 players softly speak
 their lines
 in tones of tranquility.
 The stage is set
 for a brief performance,
 then Night,
 attired in diamond-studded
 blue-black velvet,
 slips into God's theater
 with silent sophistication
 and steals the show.
