Nocturnal Dance

The sun reluctant to leave the 
stage
Splashed pink red paint across 
the page
Of the final act of a lovely day 
Then it curtsied and went on 
its way. 

A tentative rising harvest moon
Slips slowly into a darkening 
room
A soft yellow carpet of 
transparent light
The day gives way to another 
night
