is the time when
you can’t see the Sun,
but you can still see its
Light.
looking to the East:
a deep navy blue color
Beginnings Of
Stars
peeking out from behind the veil.
looking to the West:
a tranquil ombre
starts at blue
fades to pink, orange,
pale yellow finale
just above the treeline.
with each season a new time for dusk.
Summer,
the excitement of the day
holds it off
late as eight o’clock.
Winter’s cold nature
makes the world eager
rushing Dusk to five o’clock.
Dusk is the last
darkest stage of twilight.
the final moments
of Light
before Night settles -
a blanket over the land.
the last drops of Sun
that must last you
through the Darkness.
Dusk
is a
Memory of Day.
a reminder of the
Light
that once filled the Earth
This transitional time
evolves swiftly
- like a toddler,
checking their height
each time rising on the door jam -
you turn away from the window,
just to get the mail
or check your email,
and it is over.
These instants of
Solar Indecision
have no clear start or end -
blending into Day and Night.
Dusk
is the time when
you can’t see the Sun,
but you can still see its
Light.
