The Evening Ball

The evening brought the invisible breezes

That danced the trees into the night

Leaves tossed about in a flurry of delight

While dresses of tuile, jeweled on each panel

Were held at courtly arms length

By cavaliers of the dark wind

We can only assume them to have been

Black tuxedo\'d escorts by us unseen

Who commanded starlit orchestras to sing

The elegance of their swaying partners

Enchanting the watchers

As the day\'s light went dim
