Night is for Reflection

Night is a time for reflection, for remembrance, and for inspiration:

Night Falls Softly

Drink in the purple of the night
Soft warm breezes blowing 'round
Deep blue darkness settles down
And I drift along in the moonlight
Like the little dancing green leaves
That tip the dark branches of the trees
The night is falling
Falling softly

Little silver specks peer
From the warm blackness on high
Singing the music of the sky
It sounds so beautifully clear
And I'm swept away by their song
The music carries me along
The night is falling
Falling softly

See C.S. Lewis's great work, "The Discarded Image"

"For I take no pleasure in the death of anyone," declares the sovereign Lord. "Repent and live!"
-Ecclesiastes
