Oh, how I skim along the sky
Near the dying, sinking sun
I feel its rays upon my back
I wonder, sigh and run
I take on grey and purple hue
And mix within the palette
I mingle with the twilight blue
I stop and muse about it.
I sense the shadows of the night
And cling to day's waning power
The rosy pink gilding
Streams into my sunset bower
Like rivulets of the Nile
The golden threads of light
Break through my boundaries
Streaking me orange-bright
As the Empress melts into the ground
Flooding the horizon with glory
I darken emerald-azure
Like a treasure in a forgotten quarry
The sun's gaudy train fades
And I lose my brightness with her
I am but a cloud that is made lovely
When her last light is left uncensored
