Cycle of day completed

The horizon blazing

Broad along the sky

Multitude of feathery hues

A palette of violet, red, and orange

Caught in blissful, wispy cirrus clouds

The silhouette of coniferous and deciduous

Ominous and opposing the inevitable darkness.

The lark’s song silenced

She will resume where she left off

Waiting for the light of dawn

While nocturnal creatures live and breathe

For the crisp air of a velvet, midnight sky

Their lullaby jovially lilting to music unheard

Dreams are woven in their unfettered web.

The blazing star knows its role

Submitting to the dusk before the night overcomes

Gentle death of this eve gives birth to

A fresh clean beginning, A renewal of life

So natural in its course, goes by unnoticed

Taken for granted that tomorrow will come.
