Lavender Skies

Lavender skies and purple dusk

The sun sets a bright orange heart

Through the evergreens

As if saying: 'goodnight'

She dances out of sight

Allowing her partner

The moon

To shine full and bright

To fill the sky with her majestic light

So full and round

She circles around

No feet to touch the ground

And the stars?

They dance too

In the end,

We all do.
