Cathedral At Sunset

The darkness grinned having seen
the sun’s farewell glide
to hide behind Cathedral’s dome.
There it sets its glow.
Gone are the motes of dust.
The thin iridescent rays
have fallen apart and are gone.

But behind the tall steeple,
above the dark, lonely semi-circle,
the sky, so distant in daylight’s long drag,
in an instant, and gently,
hangs out a lemon nimbus.
Sad beauty is at home on the Earth.

Love the imagery of Cathedral at sunset a peaceful place of mind.

I love the personification used on night and day and how easily, smoothly word words flow from page to mouth. Gorgeous.

Beautifully written! Excellent word choice. Grabs you from the beginning, sweeping you along to the end.

I like the expressions and grammar used especially the first line, the darkness grinned having seen the sun's farewell. You painted a picture in my brain and I liked that.

[Susan Beth Horvath]

The flow of this piece is smooth and the tone is so soft and gentle.
