The Ballet of the Evening Sky

by Oscar Auliq-Ice   Oct 7, 2023


When daylight gently dims, and twilight softly sighs,
A ballet begins above, in the vast, transitioning skies.
Vivid hues of pink and orange, caress the heavenly blue,
Dancing in a spectral splendor, a breathtaking, ethereal view.

Beneath the unfolding canvas, where the fading light does play,
The world pauses for a moment, in the lingering, tranquil bay.
Trees cast shadows, long and whispering, upon the cooling earth,
As creatures of the night awaken, and venture into their rebirth.

Clouds, like painted strokes, drift in the serene,
Absorbing sunlight’s final kiss, a spectacle rarely seen.
A gentle breeze whispers secrets, to the blossoms, shy and sweet,
As stars begin their twinkle, in a cosmic heartbeat.

The moon, a silent guardian, ascends with a gentle glow,
Illuminating the darkening world, with a soft, enchanting show.
Crickets play their nightly symphony, a melodic, rhythmic sound,
Entwining with the tranquil air, where peace is tightly bound.

In the ballet of the evening, where light and dark entwine,
There’s a soothing, gentle magic, indefinably divine.
A space where thoughts meander, through the spaces, in between,
The certainties of daylight, and nighttime’s gentle dream.

As we bask in the silent serenity, of twilight’s tender song,
Let’s hold onto the quietude, in a world where we belong.
In the canvas of the evening, with its colors, bold and shy,
We find a timeless beauty, in the ballet of the sky.
