A Masterpiece

The night draws dusk to it like a child hugs a pet. And for a brief moment, they commingle as one. A wisp of a moon hangs low on the horizon. And slowly rises like a ghostly memory. Colors blend with shadows as black fills the crevices. And a carpet of dew's woven on grassy looms. The sun's rays stab the night till ebony bleeds red. And day starts to dissolve, extinguishing last light. The stars perforate the fabric of time and space. And a blank canvas morphs into a masterpiece. (Blank Verse) 3/2/2015

Hi Emile, I see you have a way with words as well, as you carve out the cosmic splendor, with just the right sharp words, exposing the edges of nature, to see the light of day. Nicely portrayed. Nice structure too. Well done. Earl
