A ribbon of gold floats on placid waves of blue. And with a searing kiss, Sol bids the sea adieu. Slipping between ripples, slippery shadows slide. And Luna starts to tug upon the rising tide. A wind-wrecked derelict fades to a silhouette. A rusty bow, tangled in an old fishing net. Silver slivers of cloud get tarnished by the Night. And as darkness gathers, Dusk douses Day's last light. An orange horizon underscores His descent. And Day starts shutting down with Sol's regal consent.

Your original expressions are almost whimsical ... they bring up images like a kid's coloring book (in a good way). You are a wonderful wordsmith, expressing different angles to imagine this scene... though I'm surprised you didn't say "Luna" since you we got "Sol". Beautiful pen...
