The Night

Wednesday June 4, 2008 at 08:58PM

An eye-lashed Sun, throws a drowsy glance

through stenciled clouds.

A petrel patters on gilded rise

dispersing nuggets of shying light.

An island looms from darker quarters

lapped and stroked by friendly waters

how welcome is the night.

 

A pyrite Moon has cast away

through pearl littered heavens

and as she goes

the traveler shows

a chameleonic change

to white.

Phosphoric beams that

highlight themes of

difference in familiars

from milk washed islands

to silvered seas

so welcome

is the night

pure image, a painting; then the 'welcome' pivots the whole into emotional thought. fairly simple; pretty complex.

(you have no idea how hard it was not to say "terns" instead of "pivots"...)
