Sky of vibrant fiery hue
Clouds of pink the sun fights through
A succession from the blue
Backdrop where the birds once flew
Twilight sings the magic tune
Sparkling stars emerge in view
Children wishing 'please come true'
Violet hints around the moon
Firefly blinking fated soon
Light of humans all withdrew
Gossamer mist forging dew
Sky now has stripped down to nude
Moths take flight and claim their due
Lost nocturn arrived renewed
Bats now streak across the moon
Nothing left to misconstrue
Slumber falling low in lieu
Slow rotation almost through
Light coming from what once knew
Night now sleeps until next boon
