Upon the wings of eventide,
...unveiling of the night,
Retreating forces of the day,
...advent of welkin's light.

Seven Sisters forth their slumber,
...seek out the Milky Way,
To sail upon the winds of time,
...a calm on land does lay.

Bejeweled the night o'er earth below,
...as of it's glory renders,
While vespers of a setting sun,
...foretell of evening's splendors.

Your Honor~

You may not have a lot of time to write, but the quality of your work more than makes up for it.

Gorgeous descriptions.

Mike~
Your render of the night sky is so elegantly portrayed.

'Seven Sisters forth their slumber,
...seek out the Milky Way,
To sail upon the winds of time,
...a calm on land does lay.'

Just captivating ...
