Summer Sunset Premiere Contest Winner

Sequestered from mundane oration Until this spell from Earth’s rotation Meanders from my frozen gaze. Melting clouds in pastel plush, Evanescent waning rays, Recant my vision’s wanderlust. Slivered shards of ruby hues, Unflinching wisps of reddish blues, Nuanced haze in wafting threads, Supplanting twilight’s blushing gray. Eventually dusk’s blanket spreads; The trance is broke – I look away. -28 Jun 2014- (Rhyme aabcbc)
