Sunset
A
scarlet
setting sun,
bleeds upon pink
cotton candy clouds
clustering at Earth's edge;
as though tethered to the night.
Twilight starts to unveil the stars
that twinkle, 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
to slowly fill
in every
single
gap.
