Winter Sky

A winter sunset lights the sky imported
 and quick the day has shortened,
in dull shades of white and gray
 to fast unnoticed slip away.

Pale yellow whites streak bold with blue
 and all that's left of pumpkin harvest hues
gathers bodies towards the inside warmth
 of late October shadowy haunts.

Too fast the season finds repose
 hiding in the night  light glows
full moon rises large and orange
 awaiting winter's cold barrage.
