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 Contest: Cornish Sonnet Sponsor: Craig Cornish 3/11/2013

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.
