The uninterrupted transition

Have you ever just sat outside 
and watched the skies change from day to night?
See the colours darken and the lights go out.
Slowly fading.
One by one the stars come out
And shine brighter and brighter.
Blink once and it all will have changed completely.

Unceasingly, and without fail, day turns to night.
Without prompt.
No matter what, there are no excuses.
No delays.
Perfect timing consistently.

The streetlights come on
The wind picks up just a little
The clouds drift slowly across the sky.
All is as it should be,
The uninterrupted transition occurs so effortlessly.
