As the golden orb
drifts westward
and the velvet dark
settles upon life
sprays of glowing sparks fly.
The colors blinded
by the flashing white
of hours too long
spent facing the fight
makes a weary heart sigh,
But the dazzling black
and the vivid hues
stained in the velour
and glistening dew
soothes the sour mind’s eye,
Through silence,
the muted brilliance
and the still forms
of stars in millions
that shake a world back into life,
The twinkle of the eye
at the radiant sights
Unearth the peace
of a rapturous mind,
It’s the wonder of a glorious night.
