Russell Sivey Poet Sonnet

Dusk Interplayed

See the light, the empowering red light
Covering our bodies it does imbue
Orange, yellow caress my every sight
Dusk at its best surrounding our delight
Clouds impose beauty, coalescing you
The sliver of the moon imparts with might

The North Star shines brightly in the night sky
Where dusk just slightly starts to fade away
Surely the intriguing night does imply
Clouds fly through as we breathe in its essence
Now turned silver and nearing dark I say
Dusk is a memory in our presence

See the light, the empowering red light
The North Star shines brightly in the night sky

Darwin Ress March 20, 2014 at 11:26 PM It truly is a lovely poem! But if I may be so bold, Polaris (North Star) is actually quite dim and usually difficult to see on most nights.
