Bit 'o Dusk Doggerel

I love the earth asleep beneath a sweep of snow and shadows cast ...

I love the earth asleep beneath a sweep of snow and shadows cast 

How daybreak’s oriflamme is lowered on dusk’s flagpole at half-mast 

And how wow is the only word that seems to fit the frame of mind 

As we behold gold blurred with blue turned into today left behind

Daughter cooking dinner means time for a bitty dusk-ditty...or two💗

I love the way the heart feels snuggled 'neath a heap of down-duvets 

And earth is like a painting swaddled before our very gaze 

And dusk is like a dark blue blanket tossed across worlds lost from view 

And somehow as we stand and watch it we become a bit lost too
