Evenings Light

The sun sets her reddened eye

Coloring the sky with one last cry

The horizon carrying a final sigh

As she takes her mark from the sky

The land slips into a dreamless sleep

Its secrets its own to keep

As the shadows lengthen the deep

An opalescent light will seep

The moon rises with her pride

Silver and luminous in her stride

Providing the world an evening guide

The sea longing for her in his tide

Draping the moon in a hazy shawl

The clouds continue their lazy crawl

Across the speckled night they sprawl

Whilst the waves crash and brawl

In time the sea calms its roar

Settling for a gentle kiss on the shore

With hopes to the pale orb it will soar

She'll find it at the close of evenings door
