Evensong

Evensong

Blue smells of stillness perfume
the haze of a soft summer dusk.

Timid and tentative, inaugural stars
dab themselves on a violet canvas.

An unceasing nocturnal sonata of whippoorwill, cricket, and owl begin a leisurely foray,
fading  the pallor of the sun.

Day's end...
All creatures that rest or rove,
breathe cradled in the embrace of the velvet, sacred night.
