Dusk

when I was a small child full of life

I looked to the sky where the dark met light

As I gazed at the contrast filled with awe

I saw day meld with night as dusk was born

Though ephemeral, its presence was proof

That for one brief second, the lovers met

And produced a union of pure extremes

Light resplendent in its grand omniscience

Night ravenous in its omnipotence

All knowing and all powerful, conjoined

The dusk was truly a sight to behold
