The evening sky in shades of grey. <br /> Light grey, dark, grey, all tinged with gold <br />Denotes the ending of the day. <br />I watch entranced as I behold <br />the darkness falling gradually. <br />The blue transmutes to indigo, <br /> the last remnants of day light flee. <br />Reluctantly but they must go. <br />The stars come slowly into view. <br />The constellations wheel and turn, <br /> forever old, forever new <br />and catch your eye each in their turn. <br />If I but wait the moon will rise. <br />Each night provides some new surprise. <br /> <br />18-Jul-08 <br />http: // blog.myspace.com/poeticpiers<br /><br />ivor or ivor.e hogg<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/nightfall-for-m-lady-ernestine/
