The Gifts of Dawn and Dusk.

As dusk approaches the warm light retreating
Shadows conquering the illuminating splashes
Across the dimming backdrop of walls
Bathing the room in crimson brass miasma

The sounds of night’s intensity slowly increasing 
Overtaking the angelic chorus of twilight
Coppery impressions dance off the cloud faces
Fading into the soft pinpricked violet milieu

Divinely recounting the experience of hours passed
In crisp meticulous summary shuffling about
Blessings counted of the gifts wrought upon me
No life imagined could be greater than this

Closing my eyes offering soft prayers of thanks
I drift away filled with great enthusiasm
To open my eyes with the coming of dawns light
Ecstatic I have been anointed to live another day
