Paula Swanson Poet Haiku

Gentle the Night

Gaze from West to East
Gentle gentle is the night
Sunfire turns to dusk

Velvet finery 
with angel tears scattered 'bout
caught within it's folds

Waltzing to a tune
played by astral orchestras
'Till the morning light

Where upon she takes
her leave untill she's summoned
by Twilight, her love
