The Blanket of the Night
As the sun sinks down
under the darkening horizon,
the color of the sky melts from
a bright blue to a dim, rusty orange.

Down
It continually plummets from the heavens
and the sky fades to black,
as the sun prepares for a deep sleep
in the murky, somber crypt below.

Down
Into the chasm of darkness,
it plunges into its prison
as it merges with the skyline
and the sky is wrapped in the blanket of the night.
