So, the New day has passed.

and the New night begun.

I waved Farwell to the dipping sun,

Dressed in Amber and crimson,

Twas a warming sight to behold.

It did indeed wrap and enfold

me in a cloak of Gold.

So, now i have this new dark night ...

Ah ..! BUT! Not quite .... yet.

Yes, the sun might well have set,

But, I still have my incandescant -

sky blue & silver, CLOUD,

in my keeping-not yet sleeping,

just teasing the moon, to a pillow fight.

Such, soft-soft, sensuous .. pure delight.

Soporific-seductive-sweet slumber ;

draws me into it's grasp -against my might.

I'll lay myself down -in thy sight.

Floating...floating, floating...floating....floating .......featherless;

weightless & light.

I bid the universe a ..fond Goodnight.*
