Another Choice

As planet Earth slowly revolves, sunset inks the horizon red. And as night shrouds reality, anxieties are promptly fed. Fear manifests in the shadows that a dying sun has bestowed. And dusk starts to blacken the sky, as daylight begins to erode. Ebony pools, in silhouettes, etched on a monochrome twilight. And trillions of stars pierce the dark as galaxies: confetti night. Sounds echo off walls of silence, magnifying the softest voice. While Luna beams Her saffron light; offering night, another choice.

Love the imagery in the opening lines. Love "trillions of stars pierce the dark" and "Sounds echo off walls of silence magnifying the softest voice." A charming poem, Emile.

Emile, this is elegant . . . stunningly lovely. The line "as galaxies confetti the night" is, by itself, a treasure. Thank you for sharing this remarkable work of art.
