Sunset To Dusk

As Ring of Fire departs day's fray Daylight lingers in bridled rays Eclipsed rays through filtered haze Filter through cloud's liquid maze A cloudy fondue with sparks doth blaze Blazing chemicals tinged with fluorescent glaze A tinge of yellow into glowing orange, deeper red doth braise Singeing the horizon with colorful light displays Singed elements melt descending from vaunted dais Leaving a melted merengue of tan welts and lactic grays Gray columns swirl into tidal wave submerging all gilded pathways Silver waves fold into miry abyss leaving charcoal malaise Stephen Parker contest: Wreath on the Flavor of Dusk Date of poem: August 9, 2012
