AFTERGLOW

A presage to the eloquence of time:
 aesthetic,
 trancing,
 encapsulating.
 
 How oft mind wanders
 in a sea of radiant peace
 void of forebodings but glitters.
 
 Surely stillness creates
 mellifluous elegiac contentment
 to a weary being.
 
 Such ageless spectrum of day
 defines its momentous beauty.
 Titillating, then fades away.
 
 All the earth's secrets are gone
 as slowly velvet darkness canopies the sky.
 And stellar confronts the lost Milky Way,
 illuminating the universe till the rise of dawn.
