Storm Dusking

The forecast says rain at midnight
and now the clouds are moving in
north by northeast through the twilight
in grayscale blown thick and thin
to hide the diminishing blue
of a once warm and sunny day
with a sea breeze so fresh and true
you'd think sheer bliss was here to stay!  
 
Yet it dwindles in time for bed;
the evening rush of air abates
and ataraxy in its stead
implores that all thought contemplates
another week of gloaming rain
from Neptune and his bounding main!
