Crimson Clouds and Stars

Crimson clouds drift by,

Whispers of wind softly sing,

Stars wake one by one.

The sky, once a blaze

of gold and rose, fades slowly,

a farewell to light.

Soft strokes of evening

brush against the distant hills,

painting shadows long.

The world beneath sighs,

as the warmth of day retreats,

leaving breathless calm.

Each gust of cool wind

carries with it the secret

songs of distant lands.

Far below, the trees

shiver in the gentle breeze,

bowing to twilight.

In the open fields,

grasses sway like whispered prayers

in rhythm with time.

Crickets start to hum,

their steady chant a refrain

to welcome the night.

The sun’s final kiss

rests upon the horizon,

fingers of fire dim.

And there, on the edge,

where earth and sky meet as one,

the night spreads its wings.

A veil of deep blue

descends upon the heavens,

enfolding the world.

Above, stars ignite,

tiny pinpricks of wonder,

guardians of the dark.

Their ancient light falls,

glistening on still waters,

glowing in silence.

The moon, silver-eyed,

climbs higher with patient grace,

a monarch of night.

With each passing hour,

the world turns ever slower,

wrapped in dreamless sleep.

Yet high above all,

in that vast and endless sky,

the stars keep their watch.

Beneath them we walk,

small beneath the eternal,

our thoughts tied to earth.

But still we look up,

drawn by the infinite stretch

of celestial paths.

The stars hold secrets,

whispers of ages gone by,

stories long untold.

They sing of lost worlds,

and of the cold, silent void

where light still lingers.

In their quiet glow,

we find a strange sort of peace,

a pause in our lives.

And as we gaze up,

into the fathomless night,

we too start to dream.

Of distant places,

where stars burn brighter and clear,

where the unknown waits.

The wind carries on,

unchanged in its timeless course,

through the sleepless night.

Crimson clouds, long gone,

leave no trace of their brief glow,

just echoes of dusk.

The night deepens still,

with the promise of the dawn

waiting just beyond.

Yet for now we rest,

wrapped in the night’s soft embrace,

beneath stars' warm gaze.

Beneath the night’s spell,

the earth lies hushed, still breathing,

cradled by shadows.

Mountains stand like guards,

silent giants of the dark,

watching as time flows.

Rivers murmur soft,

their waters reflecting stars

like liquid silver.

The sea, far away,

sings its low and steady song,

a lullaby old.

And in distant lands,

winds race across the deserts,

stirring dust and stars.

Yet here, in this calm,

the world holds its quiet breath,

waiting for something.

The night feels endless,

a stretch of infinity,

yet it too must end.

For beyond the hills,

where the sky meets the mountains,

a faint light is born.

Slowly it rises,

like the first heartbeat of life,

a whisper of gold.

The stars start to fade,

as if bowing to the light,

yielding to the dawn.

The moon, pale and proud,

lingers for just a moment,

then sinks into sleep.

Crimson clouds return,

but now touched with morning’s light,

heralds of the sun.

The sky blushes soft,

as the first rays of sunlight

touch the waking earth.

Birds stir in their nests,

feathers rustling with the breeze,

ready for the day.

The trees stretch their arms,

reaching toward the new morning,

welcoming its warmth.

And so night recedes,

slipping into memory,

a dream now fading.

The world awakens,

filled with the hum of life once

more under the sun.

Yet somewhere deep down,

in the quiet of our hearts,

the night still lingers.

For though light returns,

bringing with it warmth and life,

we remember dusk.

The way stars would shine,

their distant light a promise,

in the endless dark.

And we carry on,

beneath the watchful heavens,

wrapped in time's embrace.

For every sunset

is the prelude to the night,

and every dawn new.

The sky is a stage,

where day and night softly dance,

a cycle unbroken.

Crimson clouds will rise,

the stars will always return,

in their ancient song.

We walk through the world,

small but dreaming of the stars,

forever reaching.
