Brian Sambourne Poet Free verse

Quiet

on the waning edge of day
sunset rolls white clouds to pink and amber strands
sifting back and forth like a quilt's overlay of color
a sprawling vista
                      unstoppable
the quiet glide between hope and trepidation
 
bended sky to quell settling light
in gold, pink clouds
                       quill thin, like tangled trails of choice
these warm stretches of glow
drifting
into scattershot lives

sunset whittled back
as night cuts the canvas
remaking itself
ethereal
into the the soft weave of another darkness
strapped to another day
