Just Before Dark

A scarlet sun slips over the edge of Earth; its light banished until Dawn's rebirth. And Night stifles a dog's bark with tunes of a lark; just before dark. At its core, ebony seems stark; till fireflies light up the park. And as Dusk douses feelings of mirth; a scarlet sun slips over the edge of Earth.
