It drew to a close
pulling back
shutting down
A soft dark shelter stretching
Far and wide
the further it extended
the more it led to
Tiny fireflies buzzing open
Mid-air
And on the ground
it drew cautiously
watching darkness appear
Watching it settle
While it watched
it's rays fought the confused blue and coal
Bright gold struggling against the clouded deep blue
Orange flames burning the approaching grey,
Fighting hard
as it sank,
Sank under ebony waves
Leaving them to fight a lost battle
Of blue, cloudy and burning
