A charcoal sky
Of enigmatic beauty
Graced the star studded firmament.
Which sought obscurity
Behind a veil of ethereal mist
That stole across the serene heavens
At the hour of daybreak.
And a crimson welkin
Stained by the setting sun
Graced the evening.
The lambent light
Of the dying glory
By the departing day tide claimed
Dwindled in the crepuscular Elysium .
A crescent moon of diamond white
Inclined its enigmatic countenance
To’ard its sole companion
At the vespertine hour.
Amid the darkening ceiling
Of the vaulted ev’ntide dome,
Arrayed in shimmering attire
Of sapphire blue,
That quivered in the cool chambers
Of a nascent midnight.
