Sunset Portrait

A multi-hued portrait slowly emerges from a quixotic brush dipped



into the flamboyant palette of a sunset-splashed vista, where



seagulls pine in mid-air disport, sounding clarion calls



as they fly, silhouetted, into the last traces of clouded cerulean alibi,



while a weary sun completes its nightly descent, to suspire over



the glittering breast of a jaded sea, as twilight's lavender skies evanesce,



melding silently into a star-studded canopy of aubergine.
