Everglades Evening

by Saloni Kaul 

Evening’s burnished lustrous dripping gold 
The promise of dawn is to be kept, as award, 
Widespread sensed like towering truth manifold 
Day’s many manifestations doubly reward. 
There to wind up the day once buoyant bright 
Rises night with its resolute gracious air ; 
And in luscious long lingering twilight 
Begins to climb its darkening starry stair. 
Darkness with its own truths night saturates, 
All buoyancy the moon then gently rules the east ! 
The sky with a brand new music resonates 
Many a luminous lantern light this feast.  
And so it sets this one spinning onto the next 
To experiment with yet unwritten text.
