‘A charcoal sky’

A charcoal sky 
of enigmatic beauty 
Graced the star studded firmament 

As it stretched a taut sheet 
through the impassive emptiness 
And beheld by the silent beauty 
of an ivory moon 

Which sought obscurity  
behind a veil of ethereal mist
That stole across the serene heavens 

For to follow after the shadows 
that roamed amid the trees of green
which covered the face of the earth 


And fled in the wake 
of the departing kingdom of night 
At the hour of daybreak
