“Dawn and Dusk”

Across the sky spread
Dawn’s shining saffron robe.
Tow’ring ‘bove our heads,
She smiles at us below.

In the midst of noon,
Dawn meets ominous him.
Dusk flies with the moon.
His coming changes things.

Beyond the h’rizon
Is Dusk’s dark, starry cape.
Light he imprisons
And waits the one Dawn makes.
