Out of this World

Dusk darker themed—
Eventide, where I drifting, dreamed
Softly sighing, stars arcing gleamed
Moonlight and shade pass over me.

My life and day now pass away
While in the glooming dusk I lay
Time abides till our final day
Then whisks us up and far far away

Into that darkness flecked with light
Seeking our place midst starry night
Silently roams the meteor,
Left to right—
Pray, a gleeful soul taken flight?

Far far above the moonlit blue
Turned the living orb, shining-new
Passed the horizon a glow endue
The Sun, golden, dawning into view.

Lots of imagery reveals the dusk to dawn passage of time.

Still a little rickety. Trying to get back to counting syllables. Thanks for the feedback.
