Canvas of Faded Hues

Twilight lingers on my skin –

you, in faded hues of orange, pink and blue.

Stretching far and wide in streams across the sky,

like branches from a river looking for mischief.

You call upon the night to come with the sound of robin songs

and the moon awakens with soft luster.

How lovely you make me feel

when you paint the sky with such grace.

Speaking calm over the world –

flooding every space with a touch of you.

I sit in silence,

in reverence,

in complete and utter awe.

Words fail me as my eyes swell with tears,

I am reminded of how beautiful this life is.

Though I may not remember this one canvas,

I won't soon forget the playful streams of

twilight schemes.
