Milky Light Of Early Evening Poem by Sonny Rainshine

Cherish that sliver of time
descending at the close of day
like a window shade slowly drawn—
a white gem glitters on the fabric:
a solitary diamond, a star.

The day is as fatigued as are we,
the nourishing sun has resumed
its manic chase around the globe,
like a dog in eternal pursuit of its tail.

But it has left behind for a few fleeting moments
traces of its brilliant presence
like white dust lingering in the firmament,
as if to say: Remember me;
I will not forsake you.
