Twilight Fades To Dusk

Day's finishing gloss glimmers on horizon's purlieu Rich orange truffles filter into milky fondue Fiery sun's last gasps bleed through ethereal flue With dusk's graying mantle, at steeples' crest rendezvous A suspended bridge; Day's beams, Night's seams to glue A florid banner with singed neon sparks doth preview Mercurial parade of iridescent colors blending into vacuous milieu A brass orchestra; undergirding pit scarlet chromium hue Gilded conductor melding bright, dark tones into harmonic stew Crimson carousels, violet pinwheels hypnotizing medley brew Dissonant base strings darker notes on sterile perimeter queue Swarming silver waves blight the panoramic view Dusk's murky yield; brokered shadows accrue To Twilight's annual, scintillating pageant; bids adieu purlieu- an outlying area; periphery of a zone, environment
