Nightscape

*

The sky erupts in crimson petals

Velvet thoughts and zephyrs fill the air

Silky rose petals form strange contours on the horizon

As Helios the divine retracts his beams

*

Slowly, on an eternal arc, rises Luna

The inscrutable

Changeable

On her mysterious arc

*

Constellations blink and glisten

Rigid and possessive

Glittering stars

Fill the night

*

Scarlet dew

Pulses

Heralding

The dawn

*

            My mom always said if you can’t tell the truth you don’t have to say anything, no one will know! ☺️
