Last Vestiges of Light
Sunlit rays gild a filigree Moon;
while intensifying Luna's glow.
And She shimmers, like a gold doubloon;
in a creek, where rippled waters flow.
She adopts a halo over time:
highlighting Her celestial ascent.
And like a Goddess, She starts Her climb;
a starlet in this gala event.
An ebony curtain pierced by stars
ushers in the beauty of the Night.
And a red blush tints the planet Mars;
as Venus reveals Her virgin light.
Birds surrender the night skies to bats
playing hide and seek with skittish moths.
And along with silken welcome mats,
spiders spin intricate tablecloths.
Darkness swallows the remnants of Day,
imposing shadows upon the Night.
And color silently fades away;
amidst the last vestiges of light.
