A Standstill

creamiest bouquet
white daisies touched by red sun
in aged day's glow

marvelous mauve walls
tell stories of sun's passing
birds whistle blithely

glass lake reveals moon 
that's peeping at the window
raising dark drama

plum shadows, fireflies
pink sun's travels never cease
blue butterflies sleep

Each night seems to rise in special colors of its own. I enjoy light breezy nights on a porch.
