Dusk To Dawn

The day put on her twilight veil And walked off into the night No moon or stars to show the way Just darkness to dull her sight Then silently from east it came A silver eerie kind of light Casting shadows from the hedgerows Making all around seem bright The mystic moon her place she took Way up high in autumn sky Day walked on with quickened pace As silent shadows slipped on by At last her walk came to an end As dawns fingers fanned the sky With a reddish glow like lava To bring morning to you and I

Hi Jerry thanks for popping by, and the compliment of branding me a poet, how I wish I had a greater command of the English language and I could write poetry but I will have to stick with my Rhymes for now. Thank you Jerry for your support it is most appreciated Your friend Andy
