An Ebony Tether
A sanguine sun tinges the edge of Earth
as darkness swiftly spreads over the ground.
And Sol stretches shadows, giving them girth
by turning the last lingering light down.
Twilight fades, as silence begins to creep,
loosely leashed to an ebony tether.
And from the undergrowth, there's not a peep,
as dusk and night slowly meld together.
As the day shuts down, stars begin to show,
glittering against a backdrop of black.
And while tides in cobalt seas ebb and flow,
a howling wolf pack welcomes the moon back.
Bats morph into acrobats in the night,
awaiting dawn's first rays of morning light.
