Tonightl.
Shadowy movements of ethereal
music play nebulous games
with light's lacy fingers, weaving
watery lines on sleepy lake.
Tonight diaphanous curl of filmy
grey smoke whispers its
liquid journey along growing dim
with laggard limpidity.
Time holds breath as dusk stacks
essence of tiffany dew
on blackening trout's shiny back
in twilight's translucence.
Mist covers sky but above hangs
the gauzy sickle-shaped
glow of shade-blinkered lantern
trying to flicker again.
Clouds part and hue entrances
while the beautiful ghost
of a fading rainbow dances its last
as night closes the show.

Some lovely pictures there Fay as day takes it's curtain call and majestic night cloaks it's secrets to enthrall.
A favourite time of day for me in milder times when i am prepared to sit out and take it all in after being serenaded by one of my favourite blackbird's songs.
Many thanks Dusk for your poetic review - - the milder times will come soon so you can take it all in again dear friend.

A thousand claps
A wonderful imagery
An audience witnessing a beautiful orchestra
Where you play with melodies of words
And the night changes into day
