Sundown

Watching the night materialise.

Hazy wide horizon 
Of clear liquid lake 
Mirroring the sea of clouds 
Scattered far far away 

Rays of pink wink 
And bleed into the sky 
Firmament of pearl blue 
Sink deeper for the night 

Empyrean burnt brute 
To be consumed just then 
Shades of red and blue 
Swallowed by emptiness 

And just when you think 
Darkness ruled henceforth 
Lights lantern the sky 
Hanging, dancing from above 

Telling ancient tales 
Of monsters and thrones 
Singing cradlesongs 
Of lost times and thoughts 

Peace cradles and lulls 
Those who listen by 
Mending soul and body 
As waking dreams materialize 

Moon dreams of the sun 
As it sleeps throughout day 
Except these rare desperate times 
When it eclipses to steal glimpses 

As he ponders why 
The bright sun always shys 
When the moon passes by 
With a bouquet of wild stars 
Foiled in the darkest wrap

An interesting combination of nature and anthems here and yes once upon a time befre Persophony or Perephone if one wants to be in line the the greeks nature was imbued by god like creatures and nature responded to their commands. Something that Hades would manage to interrupt but not in this writing. As nature seems once more related to us and all manifestations seem entangled in some form of human emotion.

Wisdom and beauty

Thankyou
