Embers Ii

The embers of day glow on the horizon edge. I see the carriage coming afar. Another day has past away we morn its demise, Twilight has spread its deep indigo hued wings across the face of this fleeting earth, shadows grow in deep places welling up darkness like Tidal pools. The heavens reveal a vast wealth of diamond dust left after a god forges the universe, Like flares in black silk star’s trace images that man recorded stories by. A sliver orb of cold light, the empress of night, the eye of a Waxing god paints all in sliver white highlights, rides the heavens to midnight. The dust of a billion galaxies splash across the vault of sky, a milky way leading souls to the afterlife. I see the thing it grins sinisterly. The night is sold solid silent, deep the sparks of home of humanity, are the only breaks in the sea of night, vast. The strongholds of family. As embers of day die on the horizon ledge, Another day is done, we long for the sun. Twilight has spread its deep hues across the face of this rare earth, shadows live in deep places, darknest seas. The heavens reveal a vast wealth of stars twinkling like dust left after divinity forges the universe, billions of worlds splash across the vault of night, a milky way leading souls to immortality, as death has stopped benevolently for me.

Thanks, Jenna! Your comments are welcome and much appreciated. Thanks my writing is unconventional and not like others I have read. So its nice to hear someone say something positive even if my poems get dark and obtuse. Thanks again.
