Sol Squints

Sol squints as His unblinking eye slips over the edge of the Earth. And as Scarlet smears a teal sky, Dusk dims, awaiting Dawn's rebirth. Vermilion clouds hang overhead, hovering low above the ground. And as the far horizon bleeds, darkness descends without a sound. Shades of charcoal dappled on blue merge; in the creases of the night. And a lone owl bids day adieu, silhouetted by Dusk’s last light. Shadows flow like rivers of black as twilight succumbs to the dark. And daylight slips into a crack, abandoning a landscape; stark.
