An Evening Walk

Restless is the evening's song, so eager to release the throng of scented jasmine's sweet sachet. A first star takes my breath away... while clouds pile high like pink parfait with fringes gold in soft bouquets. Two lonely spruces thrash and sway in orchestrated breeze ballet, while dappled in the shadow's play, a weary earth turns shades of gray My silhouette is growing long..... as moonlight begs to come along.

Also, the way you ended it. Endings are very important with me and you had one of the best pair of final lines in the contest.
