The bronze sun shimmies across the sky

casting the shades of

crimson red

tangerine orange 

lemon yellow

admiral blue

salmon pink

that the day lacked

catching the simple drops of dew

that adorn the fresh green ferns

and changing them into disco balls

to shine like gems

and illuminate the fading landscape

they hold the last light

but their days are numbered

the moon is already rising

it’s cream colored crescent

to be the only light

in the starless night sky
