The Night Before Day Break

The Night before Day Break
it was dark, so dark
The moon refused to give its light
A dark and Silent Sky
A Slight twinkling of star light
A cool breeze began to blow
Heralding the break of down
Soon it was twilight
And the day began to break

I like...

..your use of the word "twilight" because I had always thought of this being toward evening. On top of that, I also learned there are also three phases of twilight, so thanks for that.
I like the general feel of your vocabulary and the subject.
I think you meant to write "dawn" instead of "down" in line7.

Good catch on...

both counts, Triske.
I understand the use of twilight, in this case, because the sun is just below the rim of the Earth.
