Motifs of Nightfall

Eventide’s splendorous motifs on blazing arc rise
Tinting golden horizon of glinting vermillion skies
Where setting sun inflames decaying gilded rays
As twilight glistens graying eve’s yellowing haze

And pewter winds rustle leaves, lilting meadows
Swaying hills of trees in rhythms of tilting shadows
Where bidding the day goodbye birds hastily fly
While enchanted in luminant sky people amble by

Reveling ebullience of nightfall glowing in moonlight
Dazzled by twinkles of stars lifting tenor of night
As nightingale’s love song enthralls nocturnal appeal
When orchestra plays above scintillating astral zeal

Quietude soon endows dreams of exuberant dawn
As the reign of moon and stars sparkles on and on
Till misty morn awakens to melodies of robin’s call
And sun rises again to walk the new day to nightfall

What a beautiful melange of sounds and scenes at eventide. The setting sun, the colorful sky, the twilight and the shroud of darkness....then the astral scenes of moon and stars in array and to top it all the song of the nightingale... simply heavenly !

You paint such vivid images with your words. "Dazzled by twinkles of stars" I love everything about this thought. I am wrapping it softly around me. This is beautiful, dreamy and magical- all at the same time. :) Brandy
