SUNRISE
Into
dawn's
fresh heaven
she bugles forth
her rainbowed majesty
with prismatic reeds
of red
born cesarean from darkness'
bed
Royal purple hues dispel
night's blacks
and blues to reveille
the oven's
blasting tapestry of
flames
And the burgundy horn
trumpets morning
and youthful
golden
rays |
SUNSET
Into
even's
kaleidoscope
of mirrored morn
the crepuscular waltz
matures the horizon's
blush
Silver laced cornucopia
of color
plums and oranges mom's
still-life hush
quilting mankind with
its shadow
A jet ebony horn plays
taps
for firmament's prism
while a memorial
laser wreath
paints
rays |
