dusk

We Write Poems asked us to "colour a poem." See the preceding link to read the neat John O'Donohue quote that led me to think about the beauty of dusk.

dusk

see the space called perfection:
dusk
when sun sinks surreptitiously
below the outline of the hills,
swirling the stone-washed denim sky with
horizontal streaks of mauve-gold

just before the moon rises
in the cobalt night sky

That cobalt colour is my favourite. Lovely.

Beautiful - you have made me SEE the sky.

Perfect - the stone washed denim sky. I love this time of night - an interlude before the actual sunset.

Like this especially: stone-washed denim sky with
horizontal streaks of mauve-gold
