Trading Places
A lemon sherbet sky
Brought its chill to the evening
The sun, released from its obligations of the day,
Slipped quickly from sight
As twilight consumed
Trees shivered in Autumn winds
Sending their loose leaves scattering
Laying a carpet of burnt sienna on the cold ground
Darkness came and the earth became silent
A time to reflect on the beauty daylight brings
And allow the night to put it to rest
The glow of a nightlight moon comforts as peace comes
