Moments Into Memories

Trinkets sparkling in the crisp night air.
Begging watchers' eyes feast on heavenly fare.

All is quiet, save soft symphonies of leg and wing.
Nocturnal notes, chittering.

Moisture from the stormy evening,
blankets all in tears, gleaming.
Diamonds dropping, splashing, 
Percussions building, circling.

The chorus nears ending,
night's creatures settling.
What was twinkling and bright gives way.

Dawn brims the horizon, swelling.
A crimson kiss, placed with loving,
upon cheeks of clouds.
Longing, awaiting

Wondrous, her canvas.
A magnificence not to miss.
The warmth of her gaze comes.
Darkness dismissed.

All is anew in our turning
Light's creator soars high, burning.
Her goal set on day's presenting.

Before the world wakes and scurries,
I wish to enjoy this spectacle with you, my love.
Whose beauty is rivaled, only,
by the blood-soaked skies above

As sunrise adorns with golden beams of healing,
Your brilliant aura astounding all witnessing.
Without doubt, they must behold you—truly,
The art of a master's finest working

Simple are some of life's most precious gifts:
Moments made into memories, never forgotten,
Forever etched upon my soul and into my heart, a carving
