Dream Across the Sky

While floating on an ev’ning’s dusky cloud, I close my eyes and dream across the sky, To where horizons are a pinky shroud Around the sun that fades without a sigh. My fingers reach to touch the amber glow, To feel the final embers of the day, Although the night is falling soft and slow, I want to savour the last twilight ray. The setting sun that takes me to my place, Where I can see beyond the midnight blue, My sunset frees my mind to gently embrace, Those sacred things my soul has come to view. Refreshed and new I call the old ones in, And another new day can now begin. Form: English Sonnet
