Night Lights

The lights at night
 have much to say
 a different story
 than the day

 They shine and glisten
 here and there
 in coolness of
 the evening air

 The street lamps glow
 to light the way
 as flashing neon
 colors play

 White ones come
 and red ones go
 as tiny cars
 drive to and fro

 Greens and yellows
 reds and blues
 from different houses
 many hues

 White beams flicker
 dim to bright
 from tv sets
 turned on tonight

 People moving
 all about
 as lights turn on
 and then go out

 In one house
 a red shade glows
 while further on
 a blue one shows

 On the distant
 hills around
 tiny flashing
 dots abound

 A dimly glowing
 alleyway
 night time secrets
 kept from day

 A lamp post lights
 a walkway to
 a red front door
 that welcomes you

 There's something special
 in the sight
 of cozy darkness
 specked in white

 Up above, the moon
 does glow
 and dazzling stars
 put on a show

 Life continues
 through the night
 a glittering, sparkling,
 wondrous sight

 In the earth
 and sky above
 the spectacle
 I truly love

 While on a hillside
 looking down,
 are the night lights
 of my town
