Dusk She Comes
The low-slung setting gold of day
Gives in to rising mist that brings
The ev'ning's gentle mistress Dusk
Who's burnish'd sheen of silken skin
Surrounds expressive eyes of light
Reflections of last rays of sun.
Beyond, her gems of stars approach
To drift upon her shoulders bare
With constellations in her crown.
And as the night Nocturnal wakes
To host the life within her keep,
Her sister finds another day.
"Every sunset brings the promise of a new dawn." - Ralph Waldo Emerson
This was written for & came in a runner-up in the DUP competition "Dusk, prologue to Night".

I don't have the words to describe how utterly beautiful this is!
The imagery and phrasing in this one is just stunning
The picture and the quote suit the poem so well
Amazing write, Jade!

Dear Duende, after reading your wonderful comment many times, I stopped noticing the sound of the deluge of a storm front that was stalled overhead. Your words have me floating on air it seems. I'm honored that a write of mine has delighted you so - with thanks for your recommend!

Woman you have softly
blown upon mind.. .and
wow I am so speechlessly
breathless..
So beautifully powerful!
