Double Etheree

A dying scarlet sun, bleeds upon pink cotton candy clouds clustering at Earth's edge, as though tethered to the night. Twilight starts unveiling the stars now twinkling-like faceted diamonds and moonbeams gild indigo waters gold. Muting all but one lonely cricket's chirp, silence imbues each shifting shadow with a growing feeling of dread. And a dark curtain descends until silhouettes merge and ebony starts slowly filling in every single nook.

Oh, Emile. There's such emotion in your etherees. You set the mood with scenes of light trying to illuminate the night. Shifting shadows and feelings of dread, but the line that touched me most to give the sense of loneliness is of the lone cricket's chirp. Excellent poetry, but then, I never expect less from you.
