Silhouette

Shifting Shadows sculpt ebony edges
Inscribing boundaries of light and dark.
Light contrasts with fragmented flowing forms,
Highlighting converging differences.
Out of chaos structure seemingly takes form,
Utilizing rays of a setting sun.
Etched upon the fringes of night and day,
Trees merge with backgrounds of liquid black as
Time pauses, almost standing still, while dusk
Erases Twilight's sullied silhouette.
