Night Earth

A suave gaze, woolly texture, embellished the gaiety gesture - of the charmeuse moon, perched like a napping heavenly dove, Swarms of floating stars, clothed its beaming bride-like allure, Its immortal repose, like a peek into celestial treasure trove, Cashmere sparks erased, encroaching vestiges of darkness’ wilting cover, Grotesque shades stealthily evanesced, like an absconder jilting a stray-lover. Often, rustling forests fanned their chastity, within earth’s soothed solitude, While courting birds, would with the soulful stillness, intermittently interlude. Fireflies roved like blazing butterflies, mountains gleamed from sparse distance - Skies; were like suitors charming the earth with transient romance, Meantime, demulcent breaths of pulsating night, induced like zephyrs opiate, As flesh-less caresses of moist-less air, evoked tranquility insatiate, Heaven’s graphics, sculptured in mortal picturesque of majesty ephemeral - as I watched the Night Earth, become a real-life mural. © Maverick Nyambu
