The Night Ride

Scales of purple, black, and silver. 
The moonlight dances on plated armor. 
Twilight and I flew threw the dark night skies 
on purple leather wings.

We fly as long as the night will allow. 
I'm finding I can fly so high above 
the chaos and normality of life. 
Swooping down on a dark abyss 
of an ocean that sparkles in the moonlight. 
The horizon turns vermilion,
our ride is done until the night comes again.
