A Slippery Shadow
A saffron sun sinks into
a sea of aquamarine.
And chartreuse shadows slip-slide
between frothy waves of white.
Night's ebony fingers dip
into the coral waters.
And Sol paints shades of crimson
upon pale lavender clouds.
Tangerine moonbeams gather
like fairies in the darkness.
And silhouettes trap color,
storing each pigment in black.
A watermelon sunset
marks the start of Sol's descent.
And lilac-scented breezes
tickle the leaves till they laugh.
Like a slippery shadow,
darkness spreads over the land.
And dusk unveils twinkling stars;
adding grandeur to the night.
