Twilight Wiles


The welkin spreads its twilight wiles, 
Crepuscular crescent moon smiles, 
As the setting sun says goodbye, 
         Salmon streaks the lazuline sky;

The orange ball of fire does sink, 
And today, slowly, it turns pink, 
Kaleidoscopic hues, they dye, 
         Salmon streaks the lazuline sky;

The moon enjoys this divine show, 
And watches the horizon glow, 
The Sol looks like a pumpkin pie, 
          Salmon streaks the lazuline sky;

God's masterpiece seen everyday, 
Empyrean art on display, 
As daylight darkens by and by, 
            Salmon streaks the lazuline sky.
