Twilight

The soft, diffused light from the sky when the sun is below the horizon,
either from daybreak to sunrise or, more commonly, from sunset to
nightfall.
A state of uncertainty, vagueness, or gloom.

Streaks of stubborn white clouds linger,

Captured within a canvas of mauve twilight
With tendrils of crimson peeking from behind
As it does in circadian cycles.

Stems sashay with serene ardour,

Entwining like partners
Performing a display of exotic excitement
Releasing, relishing and returning.

As quiet and slow as a predator of day,

The blanket of night creeps imperceptibly:
As a warning of terror,
And a reminder of torment.

Concealed by recurring routines,

Impending uncertainties of darkness
Are forgotten and covered for a cycle of day To be revealed, unscathed, by night.
