Sunset Skies

Swirls of violet Cloudless skies Oh stars do come from your mighty rise! Half moons sleep in cobalt skies Shadows lurch, dark as night Gulls emit their mourning cries. All color is leaving, Only black remains. And soon that too will fade away. Blood red streaks, They light the air Heaven has lost, but who’s left to care? I care! Whispers a hollow voice, But it’s drowned out by the nighttime noise. “Don’t worry child”   The skies, they tell, “Dawn has come, and all is well.”
