Twilight's Fading Light

Twilight’s fading light silently morphs into A cobalt sky, with diamonds sprinkled Twinkling, and the sweet scent of blooming Jasmine lingers heady in the air. Earth’s dark curtain coaxes tiny creatures To sing their songs and move along To gather food and feed their young Without the heat of daytime’s sun. Moonbeams with their gentle glow Illuminate their little paths as friendly trees Cast darkened shadows on the garden wall. Dew drops form on blades of grass And cover all in frosty white until the dawn Draws down the diamonds from the sky to To spread across the meadow’s peaceful rising. *For Laura Mckenzie’s “Beyond Nightfall” Contest
