somehow
the purpled mist
of vespertine
softens the cacophony
of earthen fray
as the subdued radiance
of a rising moon
dulls sharp edges
of a falling day
perhaps
the gods omnipotent
employ the moon
from heaven sent
to dissolve the sun
and harken night
to bridge divides
transcendent
or just maybe eventide
with passing of the sun
hushes
man and beast alike
with splendor of
a day now done

Lovely as always.

Wowwee!  That was for every element of your poem.  Just what I needed, but didn't know till I found it!  (Did you mean vespertime?)
