Rising from the fire of
sunset
like a phoenix rising
from the ashes
of dusk
red morphed into orange
yellow, white
into the sky-blue
aqua, teal
darkness, comfort of
night
the mountain looms
darkness below
darkness above
stark contrast against
a myriad of colors behind it
a pinnacle rising in
the evening skyline
and the goddess rising
o'er the flanks of the spire
Venus watching the
light fade
on the edge of the
horizon
taking in the visual
lightshow
with the approval of
the heavens.
