SKY...

It’s dusky hues are cloaking the cooling earth,
rendering the once vibrant, sun-kissed ,flowers dim.
The raggedy birds exhausted from flight yet still heading southwards
against your azure backcloth.
The seagulls mocking taunt, as they dive for remnants of food abandoned…
Vermin but beautiful….like forbidden love.
Whilst turning to deep indigo, the clouds melt against your slowly diminishing portrait
and the  distant laughing sun now silencing slowly as it descends into its nightly cocoon.
Rolling grey webs of clouds, spreading their fingers over the panorama
Then the final shimmering of our earthly star opens a shaft of softly brilliant light,
gently kissing the  now mottled gloaming.
A moment in time, captured forever within the stillness of sky and land.
A moment when Gods glory abounds.
Then breath re taken.. all glow dissipates..and finally
the sky’s inky blackness precludes the sleeping earth .
