Day to dusk

A muted horizontal rainbow
as we slide backwards
towards the silver orb of night.
The golden globe steals colour
with her
tossing orange, violet and viridian
trailing behind her.
Everything becomes silhouetted
merging into a darkened mass
into which everything hides
indistinct.
Venus quickly shows herself
brightening above
changing colour palette below
calling out sparkling shards
of light
of night.
Silently we slip from day to dusk.
A peaceful hour
a sacred hour.
Silently we slip from day to dusk.
