Haiku Night

Dark, cool nights embrace
    Us early, focusing eyes
      On nearby shadows.


A blanket of night
   Folds like soft down around us
      Wraps us in sleep.


Blue-grey horizon;
   City of many millions
      Lights the starless sky.


We sleep through the night
   Awaken to a morning
      Much older than we.
