An Ebony Night
Feeling smug about its certainty,
Night anticipates the Day's demise.
And as scattered shades of gray gather;
blue finds sanctuary in your eyes.
As twilight creates a stained-glass sky,
a scarlet sun reluctantly sinks.
And night dilutes the essence of light,
scribbling silhouettes in blackened inks.
Vermilion colors the horizon
as flashing fireflies light up the night.
And dusk creates magical moments;
choreographing their dance with light.
Darkness descends like a shroud of smoke,
snuffing out the last lingering light.
And in the fabric of time and space;
stars confetti an ebony night.
A golden moon pools in the heavens;
gilding ripples in a wishing well.
And silence mutes the beat of two hearts
held captive in love's hypnotic spell.
