Notes About The Poem

Ebony Silhouette

Sunset sears scarlet ribbons tangled in a purple cloud. And nature suppresses sounds; just the softest are allowed. A cerise sun slowly sets behind a magenta glow. And moonbeams begin to dance; as the evening shadows show. Orange edges the Earth's rim, while a reddish tinge tints Mars. And twilight transforms the sky; as heaven unveils its stars. Darkness falls like a curtain; sprinkled with droplets of dew. And reality slumbers; as dusk dreams in shades of blue. A gnarled pine tree morphs into an ebony silhouette. And today greets tomorrow; although it hasn't arrived yet.

"A gnarled pine tree morphs into an ebony silhouette." A simple but gorgeous imagery, Emile.
